Home

My family, the reason this house is a home.
Home- a state of mind, our sanctuary in this life, the rest to the weary, the soothing of the broken-hearted. A warm cup of tea, a satiated belly, the embrace of your favorite blanket...

...Yes, it may withstand the markings of all the comings & goings- the creaky floor, the picture just a bit off center, the fingerprints of those who find comfort & solace within its walls. No matter- for what is a home but these very things?

No, no- not a house but a home to those who enter with love & peace in their hearts.
Home Sweet Home

Very beautiful poem ! I am staying away from my home and miss it too much!

and there is a difference... I have existed in houses and lived in homes. Speaking of which, I will be nurturing mine today (a term I use for sweeping, dishes, cleaning, etc. Much of the drudgery leaves when I think of housework as nurturing my home.

yes, so true... a house is just a building, but a home really is where the heart is.

the creaky floor, the picture a bit off...yes, comfortable surroundings, not a museum in which we are afraid to touch or feel...but comfort, coziness.

love this poem.
