My House Is Not My Home

My house is not my home. I will tell you why.
      My home lies far away,
above and beyond an endless azure sky.

A home without structure. Nary stone nor brick.
      My home is a haven,
soothing satin and softness I dare to pick.

A home with hope and love. Joy beyond belief.
      My home turns the darkness,
chasing troubles, erasing burden and grief.

A home to call my own. Never-ending peace.
      My home and yours my friend,
where His purest blessings of love never cease.

A home without shutters. Absent chain or lock.
      My home beckons to me,
inviting my homecoming. No need to knock.
