Home- a Happy Haven

Home should be made a place of love A stable shelter from all storms of life Within the walls of a happy home, I avow, There will be no room for spite or strife Where all live in the spirit of peace as dove A place to turn to when heavy with care The love received there is balm to every scar An abode to which, after tedious toil, we happily retire A simple dwelling with not even a palace, on par Where, in joys and sorrows, all have an equal share. A home is more than a roof above our head But a haven where all dissensions disappear Where each one is bound by love’s thread And the river of life runs smooth and clear Where God is revered, and prayers are said October.16.2022 Your Choice Again Poetry Contest Sponsor- Brian Strand Three Stanza Poem in Quintain (Sicilian) Sponsor- L.

I feel like that place is right here and right now, reading your post. Valsa, “Home is where love resides, memories are created, friends always belong, and laughter never ends.”

Good advice for couples and families in this work of yours. Reads like a good contender for the contest to me. Way to go. Sometimes other members of the family are not of the same mindset as the one trying to have that place of peace. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Your visits add a great dimension to my page. Sara
