Home Sweet Home

Home Sweet Home

H appiness is found when the heart is
O pen to kindness and love, giving even
M ore than one receives from others
E ven giving when it's not expected

S pecial moments shared as a family
W hile enjoying a meal or recreation
E ntertaining and being entertained
E njoying each others company using the
T ime shared, bonding and uniting in love

H ere is where happiness and love
O riginate, and is taught to be expressed
M easuring affection by the time and attention
E veryone gives and receives from each other.

Bit samey, samey, I don't think you need to emphasise the Acrostic using capitals, it stops the flow, ...more a homely monologue, but ok...Mark
