Sip Your Coffee

Sip your Coffee

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 Coffee

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 Coffee
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 coffee
Nice and Slow.
