Home fires

Started a fire in the old stone hearth,

Flames lit up quickly enough,

Danced in the air,

Heated bare ungloved hands,

Charmed anxious hearts

Side by side,

Ready to bed down for a long winter’s night.

Eager to snuggle

Flesh touched flesh,

Your eyes sparkled in the firelight

Home fires glowed as

Love warmed the cold night.

Happy by the fireside,

Near you tonight,

Hope this stays true

Throughout the new year.
