It was a morning to stay snug in Bed, and when I finally emerged From under my cocoon of Covers, I stayed in my Pajamas and my old blue robe. I lit the fireplace, and now I'm Absorbing the warmth. While I sip my coffee from a Winter mug I focus on the Flickering flames. Why is a fire so mesmerizing? It's a closed school day, A canceled Bible study day, A glad I'm not in Florida day. It's not just the school kids who Cheer when it's a snow day. It's an oldster like me who needs a Good excuse to indulge myself, To linger a bit longer by the Fire while I finish my cup of Joe, and extol the quiet beauty of Snow. |
