Anne Lee Tzu Pheng

Sip your Tea

Nice and Slow

No one Ever knows

when it’s Time to Go,

There’ll be no Time

to enjoy the Glow,

So sip your Tea

Nice and Slow.

Life is too Short but

feels pretty Long,

There’s too Much to do, so much going Wrong,

And Most of the Time You Struggle to be Strong,

Before it’s too Late

and it’s time to Go,

Sip your Tea

Nice and Slow.

Some Friends stay,

others Go away,

Loved ones are Cherished but not all will Stay.

Kids will Grow up

and Fly away.

There’s really no Saying how Things will Go,

So sip your Tea

Nice and Slow.

In the End it’s really

all about understanding Love

For this World

and in the Stars above,

Appreciate and Value who truly Cares,

Smile and Breathe

and let your Worries go,

So Just Sip your Tea

Nice and Slow.”—

for you never know when the time will come…

Poetry is an expression of the poet’s experiences in life and in many ways these poems and prose remind us of the true reality of life.

This poem by Prof. Dr. Anne Lee Tzu Pheng to like many others remind us of so many things we take for granted or just forget while we are busy in things which actually do not matter in the end. The poem is beyond all relationships and I think everyone can relate to it.

In the words of Ekhart Tolle,” most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now.” And that is the revelation for some people to realize that your life is only ever now.

In today’s rush we all think too much, seek too much and want too much and forget about the joy of just being.
