The family all together
Passing plates around
"Mmm" and "yumm" arise
In strong euphoric sound
Syrup being poured
Forks at sausage stabbing
Melting pats of butter
Bouts of whipped cream-grabbing
The bacon's smoky scent
Eyes lit up and gleaming
Berries of such size
The children think they're dreaming
This isn't a holiday meal
Or even a special event
It's simply family breakfast
Made with love--with loved ones spent
