The warmth of kindness is the insulation that truly makes a house a home.

Saturday, October 25, 2025

Home

Home is where you
Hang your hat,
Your hope, your heart,
Your memories;
The love within ,
Your cookie tin,
A well-worn mat
That welcomes in.

The comfy bed,
That soothes your head,
Fresh baked muffins,
Calorie free!
And laughter,
In an atmosphere
Where you can breathe;
That’s judgement free.

We build our houses
Snug and strong
With wood and mortar
Brick and stone;
But when all is truly
said and done,
It’s acts of kindness
That grace our walls,
warm our hearts,
And make our house
A home.
