a comfort when things go awry
he hobbles in with smiles and love
bringing in tea with apple pie
smiling like a bright blue sky
rattling round with spoons and mugs
a comfort when things go awry
he's sorta cute a little bit shy
quiet and gentle as a dove
bringing in tea with apple pie
she's lucky to have him standing by
in melt down moments heavens above
a comfort when things go awry
been together a long time (sigh)
lots of tea for two hey luv
bringing in tea with apple pie
she loves her tea and not sure why
served piping hot it gives her a buzz
a comfort when things go awry
he brings in tea with apple pie
This villanelle captures something so tender and true—the quiet power of small gestures. Tea and pie, spoons and mugs, a gentle presence... these everyday acts become the deepest comfort. The repetition of your refrain only deepens its impact, making love feel both cyclical and eternal. Beautiful work.
