When life gets crazy
and all's not what it seems
I reach for a packet
of custard creams

A quite moment alone
with a hot cup of tea
It brings back my sanity
and does it for me

You can sit and reflect
and relive your dreams
stare into space
dunking custard creams

That familiar pattern
those unmistakable scrolls
It brings back normality
when life's out of control

It restores tranquillity 
In a world way too fast
they offer some comfort
and join up my past

These moments are precious 
my ‘battery recharger’
putting things in perspective 
and my world becomes calmer 😍
