Wool-lined slippers warm my feet

Grandpa’s old cardigan gives me a hug

Flames in the fireplace cast comforting heat

The scent of Irish coffee wafts from my mug



Grandpa’s old cardigan gives me a hug

Grandma’s hand-knitted blanket rests on my lap

The scent of Irish coffee wafts from my mug

Classical music lulls me toward an afternoon nap



Grandma’s hand-knitted blanket rests on my lap

A leather-bound mystery keeps me from sleep

Classical music lulls me toward an afternoon nap

I snuggle into couch cushions, soft and deep



A leather-bound mystery keeps me from sleep

Wool-lined slippers warm my feet

I snuggle into couch cushions, soft and deep

Flames in the fireplace cast comforting heat
