My Home

You are my shelter
My foundation
And in between 
The room
To furnish 
With a dream

I am intrigued by the response to this poem; it was written as a love poem to a person and I never thought to see it in such a literal light; I'm not sure I've actually had that feeling of a home. I am tickled that it has evolved in and of itself. Cheers to the soup!

All we need is Love to make a home a home. My home is old and i love it, and really feel it gives back.

I love this. Maybe being raised an Army brat set me up to love this poem, but no matter, I love it, I do! Also, I'm about to move into a rental house and have been mentally decorating all the rooms with my dreams. This write is precious! All the best ... CayCay
