giving up coffee-the poem

It makes the morning light up
it gives the evening a spark
it is something to live for
to risk you life for
without it the loss of health
seems less important
than otherwise it might
because without it life is less
because it is what life is
it makes the idea of marching
through wind, rain or snow
sound like something
to look forward to
if you can cross plains
deserts or mountains
if you can cross holding it
if you can cross with it
and that, of course, is love
and compared to losing that
coffee is not hard to give up
