Spinning Yarns

Fire burning, keeps me warm While outside brews a big snowstorm Now all I need to be complete Are knitted socks upon my feet I thought I'd have them on by now I'd knit my own but don't know how Will you teach me how someday? We'll stay in bed and knit away An afternoon spent spinning yarns Of different colors into forms I think the way I'd like to start Is knitting you a small red heart A place to put your hot coffee To rest your mug on comfortably My first attempt, it may take long Don't laugh though if I get it wrong I want to do the things you do So I can spend more time with you I'm pretty good at crafting rhymes But other things? I'm dense at times Be patient please, I'll come along It's like the learning of a song Note by note, chord by chord Verse by verse, word by word I'll get it though, it sounds like fun Teacher-student, one on one Needles, patterns, knits and purls My heart knit for a special girl
