Day 200

Sip your Tea, Nice and Slow

 This was received on the Whats'app a few days back on couple of occasions.. reproduced as received…. Many would have also come across the same...

Sip your Tea, Nice and Slow

No one Ever knows, when it’s Time to Go,

There’ll be no Time to enjoy the Glow,

So sip your Tea, Nice and Slow.

Life is too Short but feels pretty Long,

There’s too Much to do, so much going Wrong,

And Most of the Time You Struggle to be Strong,

Before it’s too Late and it’s time to Go,

Sip your Tea Nice and Slow.

 Some Friends stay, others Go away,

Loved ones are Cherished but not all will Stay.

Kids will Grow up and Fly away.

There’s really no Saying how Things will Go,

So, sip your Tea Nice and Slow.

 In the End it’s really all about understanding Love 

For this World   and in the Stars above,

Appreciate and Value who truly Cares,

Smile and Breathe and let your Worries go,

So Just Sip your Tea Nice and Slow."

                         (Ann Lee Tzu Pheng, Singapore Cultural Medallion winner).

This is where the poem ends… but in the message received the following were also added… that have its own significance…too.

When I'm dead Your tears will flow

But I won't know, Cry with me now instead.

 You will send flowers, But I won't see

Send them now instead

 You'll say words of praise,  But I won't hear.

Praise me now instead

 You'll forget my faults, But I won't know.....

Forget them now  instead.

 You'll miss me then, But I won't feel.

Miss me now, instead.

 You'll wish You could have spent more time with me,

Spend it now instead

 When you hear I'm gone, you'll find your way to my house to pay condolence

 But we haven't even spoken in years. Look for me now. 

 The poem and the write up have great significance in a fleeting  world of existence… these are gentle reminders to….one and all ..
