A Home Sweet Home

At long day’s end, our thoughts may stray to where we long to wend our way- a peaceful place where we dismiss all things in life that are amiss, and none are wont to cause dismay. Our footsteps hasten us to this: the warmth of hearth, the welcome kiss. For those less fortunate I pray a home sweet home they'll find one day.

A house is but a shell until a soul goes there to dwell and then with love it transmutes into a home. Emile. #7

A lonely home is still a home. With hopes and dreams and thoughts to poem. Someday's may come, but as for some. From pain and sorrow, they just turn numb. This is a very tender heartfelt poem Andrea. I wish you peace in your home. :)
