Home Sweet Home

Home Sweet Home Contest
Sponsor: John Hamilton

Haven of safety free from shadows

Orchids freshly picked in the kitchen

Mamma baking Dutch apple pie

Eating home cooked meals every night 



Serenity of memories by the fireplace

Wagging his tail, sweet lil' Mugsy

Entertaining family every Sunday

Entering I feel a dependable refuge

Together our house becomes a home



Habitual prayers at the dinner table

Origins of roots through generations

My home is a harborage glued with love 

Elated security built from scratch

Excellent homey home acrostic, the security and warmth ooze (in a good way.) It may take more than one sit down, but I will catch up on your poems - they are a joy to me ... CayCay
