Tea with Grandpa

In my dreams I am sitting here having tea with grandpa.
After all, this is his cup of tea.
He sipped tea from this very cup on days long ago.
I can remember times as a little girl when he asked me to pass the "jedi", jelly for his toast.
Or he scooped up a small tub of honey and wax from the hive
and we enjoyed it with our dinner biscuits.
Yes, in so many ways I have tea with grandpa.
He loved road trips in his Pontiac and sometimes when
I am driving down the road I feel his presence in my car.
Yes, we are going to tea grandpa.
Would you like 2 lumps of sugar, "jedi", or some honey in your tea?

How about you?
Do you sweeten your tea?
The tea in the cup today is called Paris and it is sweetened with lavender buds.
