Listen to poem:

My heart has found a home (Song version) So many years alone- my hearts without a home Nights were filled with fear- my heart shed a tear My loneliness had grown- my hearts without a home my foolish heart has spent- emotions paying rent Chorus My heart has found a home no need for it to roam Love has come my way I know that it will stay My heart has found a home it's home is here with you you are it's dwelling place love shines upon your face my heart has found a home Since you came to me- your love has set me free I see love in your eyes- your heart now beats with mine Lonely days are gone- our love will stay strong Say you'll always stay- I need you everyday Chorus My heart has found a home no need for it to roam Love has come my way I know that it will stay My heart has found a home it's home is here with you you are it's dwelling place love shines upon your face my heart has found a home repeat chorus twice fade to zero Melody and vocals by Dale Butler dalebutlermusic.com John Derek Hamilton March 30, 2017 revised September 12,2018 Copyright © John Hamilton | Year Posted 2017

John, knowing what I know of your circumstances and the beliefs we share, my heart was deeply touched by your lyrics. Having lost my heart twice, I now know to whom it belongs. Tenderly written and artfully sung.

Oh wow, how I wish I could play like you do . You have a very country type song here with awesome lyrics and tune. I spent several years trying to learn guitar in my 40's but when I pick up the guitar today I can barely remember all those songs I had learned to play . I think if I'd started young, that would have been better. Keep up your great work, John. Maybe one day we will see your work on a record label! (has that ever happened for you yet?)

John Hamilton
