Earl Schumacker Poet Free verse

House Is Where the Home Is

House Is Where The Home Is

Doors and windows are never locked at home
Nothing worth stealing.  It's not a castle worth worrying about
I feel like every home, is my home, when I am welcomed in it
Friends and family make me feel that way when we are visiting
Strange people come to my house frequently not speaking English
They must be aliens, my wife would know, as she is a foreigner also
Coincidentally, she and I live together in our house with language mysteries
Baking pies, eating rice and beans, doing other Spanish and English things
We settle differences, our house is a home where we make history
