Home - a Valentines Ode

Home is not a house Home is not a flat Home is not whatever place I laid down my hat Home is not a country Home is not a town Home is not the place that I Put my suitcase down Home is not a memory Nor a future hope Home is not an anchor That binds you like a rope Home is not four walls in which I do the things I do Home is any time or place That I share with you

Its that time of year again and romance is in the air. Well written valentine ode Terry. It will have to be a takeaway again as everywhere is damn shut. Tom

Thanks Tom. As per the rules, I make or buy my partner a card every year and she ‘forgets’. I quite often use soups greeting card generator which can be a bit quirky but gets the job done. So this ode may be this years unless I can do better. Cheers Tom. Terry
