Home is a place where love will grow
when planted deeply the heart will know
the touch of a hand and hugs so warm.
A haven of safety, a port in the storm.

The lights in a home always burn bright.
The warmth of a fire on a cold winter night.
the flowers of summer create their surprise,
Welcoming the birds, bees and butterflies.

Stream water sparkles and trickles and sways.
A whisper of secrets on warm summer days.
Feet outstretched catch the cool water splash.
Light through the trees in a soft vibrant flash

Joyous laughter and fun from the old vacant lot
where a club house was built, in a secret spot.
Remembering those days when time passed so slow
and on warm summer evening the soft breezes
blow.

Growing together as time and life fly by.
A home filled with children, a joy to the eye.
Creating happy memories through each passing year,
filling this home with loved ones so dear.
