Tonight I Light the Fire

tonight i light the fire
nothing to do but embrace life
i have a cup of hot chocolate
i have a plate of ten chocolate chocolate chip cookies
i just may make about ten to fifteen more
time is even being cooperative

tonight i light the fire
nothing to do but give Thanks to the Lord
feeling better now that i am over that bad cold
i have one more day off to rest the body and the immune system
i have a chuck berry greatest hits cd playing in the old dual cassette boombox
right now being alone is the greatest feeling in the world,
but by bedtime i will be missing her and the how good her body felt again

well, in life, you can't always get what your heart yearns for, desires, and wants
however, my attitude is educated even more all the same,
so i will just sit in front of this warm and soothing fire and Give Thanks 
for the Blessing of the Important Needs ThankFully EverPresent in my life Now
