Home Fires Burning

Missing image
Aroma's from grandma's home-made pie
Delicious apples dangling from the tree
Baked on the open hearth leading to the sky

The warmth of the family gathering can be
A holiday filled with laughter, love and joy
Scented candles flicker  ever so brilliantly

Sweet stick candies for each girl and boy
A flavored treat certain to bring a smile
Stuffed in their stockings instead of a toy

Going home the kids count every mile
Visions of muffins and cookies they see
Grandma's treats not tasted for awhile

Sweet smells of love surround the family
The comfort of home smells so deliciously
