tea

 I learned something 

today about

making tea.

 

If the kettle boils only briefly

before you pour the water

onto the leaves

 

The result  is delicious.

 

But if you let the kettle

 boil longer,

there is 

little flavor in the tea.

 

When the water is ready.

Use it at the right time.

If we wait

we won’t have a good cup.

 

God gives us these 

opportune moments that

Are just right.

 

There’s something inside

that says do it 

right now.

 

If we listen with a true ear,then

the taste

Is amazing.

 

The window is open

only a few seconds,

We must remember.
