The Fireplace

In a cozy room at the close of day,
A fireplace crackles, bright and gay.
With sparks that dance and warm light that glows,
It tells a tale that every child knows.

Gather 'round, little ones, come hear its song,
Of adventures bold and nights so long.
In its warmth, we find stories untold,
Of brave knights, dragons, and treasures of gold.

So as the flames leap and the embers burn,
By the fireplace, we all take our turn.
To dream of places far and wide,
With the fireplace, our trusty guide.
