Jeanenne will call, "Let's go get tea!"
and I'll jump into her car.
We go to grab our favorite drink -
not liquer store or bar.
We'll pull into our 'favorite' spot.
(It's always one of three.)
We know exactly what we want
it's not just some sweet tea.
We drive and talk and talk and drive,
share life in both colors and grays,
As sunset melts the Texas sky
she drops me off, we go our ways.
Tea runs low but friendships do not
and I thank God for the ones I've got.

Author Notes
We do stop for tea at 'one of three'. Sonic, Chicken Express, and Tea2Go are our 'spots'. It depends on the day and what kind of tea we're craving!
God has blessed me with such incredible friends. Jeanenne is my friend, my counselor, my accountability partner, and my partner in 'crime'. (Oh, yeah... We're BAD! lol) I could write about each of them but this is the end of the challenge, so... Sorry other gals!
I know this is posted as #28 but I entered two poems in contests this month. I'll renumber them as 29 and 30 because the system tricked me. It said 'add chapter' and then gave me an option to enter them in a contest. I was unaware that it would take them out of my book of poems.
Thanks so much for spending April with me!
I hope you see the everyday miracles God puts into your life each day.
