The Smell of Breakfast

02/10/2020 – Poem a Day Compilation



There is nothing better in this world

Than waking up to the smell of breakfast

Cooked by someone who knows you

And loves you with all of their heart.



The smell of bacon and eggs sizzling,

A freshly sliced tomato sprinkled with salt,

Mushrooms cooked in their own juices,

Sausages oozing with flavour.



Baked beans bubbling in the saucepan,

Bread toasted under the grill,

A couple of golden hash browns,

All served on a pre-warmed plate.



A pot of piping hot lemon tea,

A glass of chilled orange juice,

A jug of water fresh from the tap,

And a hot chocolate for the kids.



There is nothing better in this world

Than waking up to the smell of breakfast

Knowing that the family is all together

And the meal was made with love.
