Warmth of the Open Fire
In front of newly glowing fire__the warmth
Fills the area in very front
Family draws close_warm against cold
Time today flew as trees were cut (down)
Cut just to the perfect length to burn
On the open fire of night's desire
These hours of story telling__laughter
Make up for labor of timber felling
Time spent at the well drawing water
Here now time for discussions
Story-telling, laughter, memories
The fire softly lighting Mother's eyes
