Campfire Music

Campfire music

Crackling of a camp fire
upon the earths dirt floor
warming are the flames
cold not anymore
loved ones gather round
this fire that they built
young ones they are sleeping
upon a handmade quilt
a guitar it plays softly
music flowing to the sky
another day now ending
sleep comes with a sigh.

I only went to camp once in my life and the campfire songs we sang here basically hymns.  Oh well....I've never been good at 'roughing it' anyway.  :)
