I hear your sighing
Quiet aching

Put the kettle on to boil

I hear your footsteps 
Slow and dragging

Tea pot warming over flame

I see you standing
Lost, uncertain 

Scent of tea leaves fills the air

I see your anger
Fearful, hurting

Mugs, milk, sugar all are there

I can’t solve all things
Know no answers

Pot brewing steam twists rising

Come sit down with me
I’ll stay silent

Pour out tea and all your cares
