My Cup
My Cup
By Sybil Fulk
I never thought it would mean so much
To hold a cup that you once touched
One you had chosen just for me
With careful thought, so lovingly
I did not put much thought in to
The meaning of this gift from you
It seemed a small but thoughtful thing
But now this gift means everything
I place my lips upon its rim
And think of memories now dim
Of moments that we’d often share
While you sat in your favorite chair
Read the rest of the poem Show less
I hold the cup close to my chest
The warmth of it can bring me rest
Knowing now your loving plan
To give a gift I’d understand
Its funny how something so small
Can be a comfort when I fall
Can wrap around my weary mind
And with its warmth, help me unwind
The mighty winds can blow apart
My tattered soul and broken heart
But I sit down and drink my tea
And hold the cup you gave to me
It offers not a hand to hold
Nor is it made of gleaming gold
But when I’m close to giving up
I think of you, and hold my cup
