Answer:
I wake up to the smell of cookies
Walking downstairs, I see my parents bake
They smile at me and tell me to eat.
My brother runs down the stairs
And asks what they're making.
They reply cookies, and he sits.
So it's just the three of us
Sitting together, a family
Smiles, laughter, and cookies.
