A Home is ...
Where food is good and love flows from floor to floor
Up the chimney and out the door;
Where girls are girls, and boys are boys,
Moms are moms and dads are dads, and God is over all;
Where time is spent and money saved,
Children fret but still behave,
Where noises ring of jubilee,
And prayers are heard from bended knee,
Where joys are shared and tears are shed.
There’s always a place to lay your head.
Kick off your shoes and just relax,
Feed the baby and take a nap.
Stretch the cords and loosen the stakes,
Encompassing all for Jesus’ sake,
Beyond the studs that make the walls,
More than the shouts that fill the halls.
A Home is a stage where History is made,
The characters bent and to Heaven sent,
But while earthbound with our houses of clay,
May our Home be Heaven’s display.
