Home Sweet Home

Haven where solicitous parents hover
		over sick little ones and dispense advice to
		mature ones; an emotional stronghold, not merely an
		edifice one enters for physical shelter.

		Sanctuary whose personality changes
		with time, paralleling inhabitants' metamorphoses,
		embellished with evidences of the pride and sentimentality
		each possesses, those preferences each
		thrives on as part and parcel of existence.

		Houses become homes when those within love them and
		one another--nurturing, respecting, mending,
		maintaining that rapport and awareness
		essential in relationships within and beyond walls.
