This poem is dedicated to Mako, the guy who played Iroh's voice. R & R
Ginseng Tea
He could still remember the first time his uncle held him
picking him up and cradling him close
murmuring words of love and kindness,
things he'd never heard his father say.
He remembered the way he felt, how he smelled.
How he snuck him away into his bedroom.
put him onto a chair and said:
"Would you like some ginseng tea?"
It was then Zuko remembered starting to cry.
-------------------------------
I couldn't help it. It would be just like Iroh to give a baby tea. And everyone knows Zuko hates it. Not that good a pom but too bad.
