Home

Home, not built with bricks and cement But on the rocks of love and trust Where all live happy n’ content Where, life moves smooth in hope, robust It is a place we love to stay A haven in all storms of life Where our true self, we can display With no room for mistrust or strife Home is not roof over our head But a place where concord shall fare Where all are bound by love’s strong thread, Where we bide with duties to share A place of joy one can retire, In shine and darkness, day and night An abode of what we aspire Where, in strong bond all shall unite

Valsa, congratulations on your win! This is so lovely. I love the metaphor of love being a home for love - a residence of refreshment, safety and serene peace. Wonderfully done! Blessings!

That's why, though I was first in generations to visit India once only (2003) from my native south Africa, "India is my psychological home" PTL. Congrats my Sister in Jesus

Valsa, you have portrayed a true idyllic haven of peace, where one can find rest, harmony, trust, and unity, protection from the harsh realities in the world, and most important of all: love. I am reminded of a line from a Billy Joel song, "I need you in my house, for you're my home". Blessings to you, and congrats for your POTD ~ John
