Just let me drink my coffee

There is just something about a cup of coffee.

Down to the science,

It's such a beautiful art.

I love to close my eyes and think of the hands that grew it.

Inhaling rich dark chocolate and fresh cherry.

I love to imagine the aroma, walking through a forest of coffea trees.

The taste of sweet Earth.

A moment of silence.

I never thought I would miss looking at a strangers face but, eyes smile.

I never thought I would miss offering to shake someone's hand but, eyes smile.

.

Who wants a cup of coffee?

I never thought I would be having this conversation with my children.

How can I be honest,

But yet still not break anyone’s heart..

I don't know how to say I'm sorry for this.

I’ve practiced a few times in my sleep

But, we have learned to appreciate a smell of fresh pine trees,

As we take our masks off, and breathe.

I can almost see the smile in their eyes as we look into the distance.

So, who wants a cup of coffee?
