~ Home is Where the Heart Is ~

"A house is made with walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams."

 

Home is where the heart is

That's where its always been

I'm met by hugs and kisses

As soon as I walk in

 

Love blazes like the ardour

Inside the fireplace

Stars twinkle in their eyes

And happy smiles upturn their face

 

I reminisce, with fondness

Of kodak moments here

The holidays and picture frames

Those memories endear

 

Though hard times and disaster

Still mar the world around

This is a sanctuary

From life's burdens, that compound

 

Miles over roads I've traveled

Many journies I've embarked

This name, these vows I've carried

Ever with me, they're hallmarked

 

Sometimes I felt so lost

Sometimes my spirit felt downtrodden

But the spoken words once given

Were not vanquished or forgotten

 

I am thankful for the simple joys

And values of Thanksgiving

For the ordinary miracles

And faith that keeps on giving

 

Yes, home is where the heart is

And to it I've returned

Back to familiar things

Back to the wholesomeness I've yearned
