Sitting by the window, she saw the sweet morning rise
The sound of cars occasionally passing by to the few people walking by
She quietly sat while the sun reflected off of her soft pale eyelids as she blinked
Her cappuccino slowly reached her lips and she took her first sip
She tasted the hot foam, the perfect blend of bitter and sweet
The slightest nod of her head indicated her satisfaction
Elegantly holding her drink, she took another sip
Her fingers gently pressed into the cup, softly and tenderly with the smallest intentions
The sun brought warmth to her distinguished face as she closed her eyes
Gratitude was written all over her expression when she inhaled the morning’s introduction
She contemplated on the day’s prospective findings
As she heard her neighbor greet another, she smiled endearingly, full of light and simple joy
It was time for her to go and it was time for her to start her day

When We Were Very Young
In another box set that my parents got me when I was younger contained four books by A.A. Milne. 'When We Were Very Young' is a collection of poems that Milne wrote for his son Christopher Robin. This is a book that is full of references to Mr. Edward Bear, but a lot of the poems give some various descriptions of life of a very young child and where, when, how and why they do what they do. The illustrations are quite cute for you can see what Christopher Robin is and may be thinking. Also, Pooh Bear does make his self-known at various points. I have read these verses many, many times over the years and each time make me feel good about myself.
