Be It Ever So Humble

Visit someone’s sprawling house And envy all that space Or travel to some posh hotel With comfort you embrace; But still, when you return and step Into your own abode, It’s nice to settle back into That old familiar mode Where everything you touch is yours. It’s cozy, warm and snug. Your pillow and your blanket Cuddle like a long-lost hug. Whoever wrote that saying Got the humble part just right, For home, despite its size or scope, Fills every appetite.

Every time we'd get inside the city limits coming home from a trip, my Mom would always say. It's sure nice to be back home. Thanks for the rekindled lament ilene. Peace. :)

Dear iLene: "Yes home sweet home where happy stays; no more to roam, with ample pay!" A very good write. Leon

All Judy Garland had to do was click the heels of her ruby slippers three times and say the magic words over and over again. This is another great write, Ilene.
