Sunlite Wanter Poet Free verse

My House - My Home

My House – My Home

I live in a house, God’s gift to me,
So I dedicate it to Him as his own.
A place where quiet spaces be;
A table, a chair, a couch and a lamp,
A cross on the wall with pictures,
Cozy rooms for sleeping,
A sunshine deck for reading,
This kitchen of worship and radio music.
And even a million meals;
A tiny dog curled in sleep and peace.

Once this house was filled with strife, and then
Once this house sheltered a healing family;
Now it is a home, a house no more
A welcome place of God’s forgiveness
And grace.

Gershon Wolf February 9, 2019 at 8:44 PM Nicely done, Sunlite. Home IS the ultimate sanctuary -- not just against the storm, but more importantly from the inside, as the hearth where G-d resides. Kudos, my friend. :) gw

Jennifer Proxenos January 25, 2019 at 10:38 PM Your home sounds wonderful Sunlite Wanter, Cozy, peaceful and full of faith, a sanctuary where if you wish to talk to God, you can, and in your mind you hear his voice. This happened to me actually when my father died, i was inconsolable, and went and sat in my favorite part of the house and heard Gods voice, was it in my mind or real, I cannot say but I heard Him Poetry hugs, Jennifer.
