Hearthside
Remembrance
Flickery
firelight
shadows
take
me
back
to
a
gentle
time
when
youth
was
wrapped
in
warm
blankets
of
love.
Howling
winter
winds
become
soundless
when
soft
crackles
of
a
wood-burning
fire
echo
in
my
mind.
Time
cannot
fleece
memories
nor
erase
feelings
of
cozy
comfort
experienced
in
a
childhood
of
security
that
was
Mom
and
Dad.
