A purring cat on your lap
Playing fetch with your dog
The birds serenade
With melodious song
Hiking in the forests
The mountain mist blue
A breath of crisp air
And strong coffee too
The sun as it rises
Making angels in the snow
A picnic by the river
The full moon as it glows
The soft meadow grass
Bluebells sway with the breeze
Beach-combing the sand
As you gaze out to sea
Spring seeds in the garden
The scent of earth as you sow
And summer’s fresh produce
Growing row upon row
Mom’s mac and cheese
Grandma’s tart rhubarb pie
Grandpa kneads yeast rolls
A tender pot roast with thyme
Birthday parties in the kitchen
A vinyl record as it spins
Favorite movies on the couch
And an evening’s cool swim
A hot mug of tea
On a white winter’s day
Reading by the fire
As your cares melt away
Puzzles and card games
Playing checkers and chess
Canoeing and camping
The fishing spots you love best
A kiss from a loved one
A hug from a child
Dancing with your sweetheart
A baby’s giggle and smile
Comfort is anything
That fills up your soul
Comfort is everything
That makes you feel whole
