Sitting by the fireplace<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So warm and so very bright.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Every time it crackles,<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It gives me a fright.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My dog sleeping near in a curled position,\u202f<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Watching my brother run along the carpet,\u202f<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Making fiction.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“I love my family” I say,<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Eating bread<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I should get ahead, and be early to bed,\u202f<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fall asleep quick…laying in bed<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hearing a tick,<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The clock going off,<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The day is over.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No need to scoff,<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There is always tomorrow<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Go get that book you wanted to borrow,<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Go, do the thing you wanted to do.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t imagine.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s all up to you.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
