Tea and Biscuit Perched on the Saucer – Family Poetry

She would make us tea
 and perch a biscuit on the saucer
 for an extra bit of sweetness
 just in case we'd be feeling a bit off          
 and needed some extra
 love and steel to 
 last in what she called
 the big bad world.
 And her smile and
 her voice would make it a bit
 easier, at least for a while,
 before we'd have to go and 
 weather the next pile of cr*p
 a long way away from
 tea and soggy biscuit 
 taste holding steady
 on choppy tongues.
