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

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
