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.

Robert Johnson Date: 1/28/2015 9:24:00 PM 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. :) Login to Reply
