C'est la Vie I believe that is French for it is good, please correct me if I am wrong Val. I studied French in High School. I particularly love this poem because it says that life will not always be a cup of tea. The cup of tea is most enjoyable when it is fresh and piping hot and savored with each sip. After awhile when cup empties there maybe a residue that doesn't look to appealing at the bottom of the cup. Make the best of it no matter how it looks. An inspiring write.

What remains on the plate is acceptable in whatever state it is. Life is like that. Nicely put. Thank you.

Justice is done to the paraphernalia of imagery used here...essentially a human poem! ! !

We have drunk from the pot of life to our fill and what remains now is the residuum! But still can't we fill it again, though not to the the brim, but at least to a quarter? Short and succinct! !

Culinary marvel, the originality of the message is clear and poignant. The poetic vision strong and lasting. Une petit merveille, mais tres complete. C'est la Vie It sure pleased me! ! ! Magic's in the air

A great poem, I have a saying, I've had some good cherries in my bowl in my life, now I want some cream to go on top. A good life poem.
