Apple pies on the window sill
cooling down and smelling ever
so divine inviting a secret taste.
Roses in beautiful picturesque bloom
filling their fertile little garden world
with an aroma so intoxicatingly sweet.
A fireplace and hearth quietly tucked
in a stone corner giving us light
and glowing delight to replace the horrible
terrors of our sleepless nights.
Love and care everywhere and conversation
so enlightening are only found in the delightful
world that is my grandmother's beautiful country home.
