Home Sweet Home

"Going to build me a home where I'm never alone" said the boy with the wild hair and the Mexican heart Yes I will finish this table with the sweat of my brow for I know that I'm able, ready and willing to apply; All those years as a foster not even a hug nor a smile every wound hidden deep, not much there to keep; Saddled up with some courage he tilled up the land bought six cozy beds and some cows and some bulls for what is a home, without nothing inside .... At the orphanage door he rapped thrice once more then asked for the sulkies playing on the floor Ravaged and hungry they ate up a storm drinking and eating with wolves at the door; They danced and the played out in the Country rain then they worked and they worked like never before; He had a dream a mission to fill so with his own free will he did it, he build a home so they would never be alone with a big sign at the door that read, "Home Sweet Home"

Quite an insight into what matters in life, Mystic! A real heroic narrative, complete with a hero who is 'a champion of the people,' in my opinion. Bravo, Gershon
