Serving Tea
by Alan Meyrowitz
On caring for
my father
He still prefers
a cup of tea
Therein, something
I can do
Serving tea,
the privilege mine
to honor all that
he had been
His will to thrive
is waning, a closing door
on years well lived—
through cups of tea,
two spirits buoyed and bonding
if only for some hours more
