Homegrown

No mansion on the lake

A cottage on the lane

A hub for dwelling sake

Worn wood on windowpane

Potatoes in the bin

A mattress for my bed

A table in the den

Suffice for breaking bread

A garden wrought with weeds

That flourishes in the Fall

But still supplies my needs

When neighbors come to call

Though rustic it may be

Whenever I may roam

I ever long to see

This place that I call home
