My First Cup Of Tea..

The time was when I was in class Fourth

My height even didn't reach the gas stove

Standing on a stool in the kitchen

Holding the lighter with little fear

Raising the feet I kept the pan

asking Grandma what to do the next

Calmly holding to what she said

I added ingredients with no mistake

Adding ginger without forgetting

and a cup of milk with proper measuring

Now its time to filter it out

But my hands vibrates about

Thinking to call Grandma here

but she was ill so let her be there

half tea in cup half on slab

Really I made the kitchen a huge mess

Slowly by her its sip is taken

I looked at her waiting for reaction

My fear vanished within seconds

as she speaks out with lots of blessings

That day I gained a confidence in me

That's how I made my first cup of tea...
