Holiday Home

Home sweet home in a tiny hamlet Where the sky is always clear Decorated with tiny fairy lights Welcome to my holiday home at this special time of the year Walls newly white washed The roof painted rusty red Garden planted with roses Welcome to my holiday home at this special time of the year Ethnic wear all aired and ironed For the auspicious day of Eid is here People come a visiting Welcome to my holiday home at this special time of the year Tables laid with savouries and sweets Aromatic flowers in vases Bright smile on every child’s face Welcome to my holiday home at this special time of the year People embracing one another The joy of festivities overflowing The whole world celebrating Welcome to my holiday home at this special time of the year You’ll find warmth in hearts And arms open wide With hands folded and heads bent Welcome to my holiday home at this special time of the year

I really love how you did yours, Tahera, with the shorter lines and then the long one at the end of each stanza. A very well deserved win. It was unique. LUv, Andrea

YOu did an exceptional job with this one, Tahera. Now I am dying to know. Girl or boy? don't feel bad that I am asking you. I had the same problem with RAvindra and Nikko. I believed them to be opposite of what they really were because their names fooled me! Luv, Andrea
