The Family Home

I live in a house built of bricks, not in the city, out in the sticks. It's not the best but it will do. Wild front garden and back one too. Needs a little love and care, The living room carpet is thread bare. Lots of hard work all around but the foundations are quite sound. It's just right for me and mine. Living here we've done just fine. Away from the pollution of the city, forfeiting the shops, a bit of a pity. I left the city years ago, so as my family could peacefully grow. I'm glad I moved from the city to here. It's less dangerous, little to fear. We've had it good and we've had it bad but we're mostly happy and rarely sad.
