These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Some Coffee in the Afternoon Awaits

Some coffee in the afternoon awaits,
before the bigness of the evening starts.
These peaceful moments anxiousness abates,
quite soon I'll pull together working parts.

The moments press upon this writer's mind.
Some coffee in the afternoon awaits.
The hope of sipping warmth is sweet and kind,
along with handmade bread, that's filled with dates.

The working place is full of wondrous food.
The job is done to make of workers, greats.
When most is done, the fuller things she states.
With smiles prevent we guests from deeds thought rude,
thus setting up the best of buying mood.
Some coffee in the afternoon awaits.
