Beautiful House

Be and live in your beautiful house, a house where God lives,

Everyday a miracle, where you are at home to be yourself,

A sound that you live with, reverent silence, divine music,

University passages learned and miraculous,

Teaching us to continue to enhance our lives, to read and write philosophically,

I know that as a senior you continue to learn all your life,

Fresh and nutritious foods you prepare yourself,

Universal companionship, relatives that bless you with their loving care and kindness,

Living God's principles, Sundays a favored day with the church of your choice,

House weathered many storms, each year becomes more beautiful, more sacred,

Original ways of decorating and making your home comfortable,

Unity with routines and day and night living,

Sacred all the while contemporary, selective fashions,

Etiquette and good manners a pleasure to be with, living with God.
