Home~

Where do babies laugh

And children play?

What does a heart long for,

To dwell in and belong to day by day?

Where bread is baked,

And gardens sewed,

Piles of Autumn leaves raked,

And lush Spring grass mowed?

Where are soft,
Warm beds made,

Night-time prayers said,

And sleepy infants laid?

In a home-

A place where mothers care.

In a home-

A place where meals prepare.

In a home-

A place where fathers comfort.

In a home-

A place free of hurt.

Home~

Where hearts long

To belong...
