Two-Story Heart

Home should be a safe place, Somewhere you want to go, Not a deadly battlefield Where fear and anger grow. Home must be a garden Showered by loving light, A haven of tranquility Not a ring in which to fight. When you need a pillow, A safe place to lay your head Take comfort in my softness And where angels daily tread. I'll champion all your causes, Catch you when you fall Because home is where the heart is And I am at your beckon call.

Really nice rhyme, so true your words, I wrote a similar theme, If love is a battlefield, domestic abuse is a real problem, thanks for sharing.

Home should be a sanctuary of love and care, but exceptions occur ??

Yes this is particularly poignant because a friend has recently been the victim of domestic abuse. Thanks for your comment.

Thank you Tim, someone I care about deeply is in an abusive relationship and I feel helpless.
