Look Around
Look around your home and see
Your furniture, your rugs,
The pictures hanging on the walls -
Like old familiar hugs.
For every item you have placed -
Inherited or bought -
Is there to help create the space
That somehow you have sought.
We start out small, collecting
Things we like and can afford
And often there’s a goal in mind
We gradually work toward.
Our tastes may change throughout the years
But there will be a thread
Of special objects to connect us
To the lives we’ve led.
So though we may redecorate,
We’ll likely never part
With those various reminders
Which give every home its heart.
