Home Sweet Home
Home is where the heart is, they say,
Overseas or in our own native land
Mansion be it or a dilapidated hovel
Elysian Fields surrounded or a desert;
So long as the heart is in the right place
Woe without, and sorrow set far afield
Enjoying the God-given life together
East, where the sun rises, or to the west
Together, as one, where love thrives;
Home then is where you set your camp
Over a rolling meadow or under a tree
Much with trust in the nature of God
Ever together with the one you nest.
~"Home Sweet Home" Acrostic contest by John Hamilton
