My World

My World
My world I think is really quite small
But then on reflection, not small at all
It consists of a four bedroomed home
A large garden and plenty of room to roam
My children were born in this home of ours
My husband and I built over many, many, hours
My world is encompassed all around
This home we built with love to surround
My world expands with travel now and then
But it never seems the same without them
One of my birds has now flown the nest
He still knows where home is when he needs to rest
The bonds of love stretch very far
It doesn’t matter wherever they are
My family know where my world is
It’s were they are, not who they are with
My world is really the whole world over
My family don’t need any lucky clover
Love is everywhere spilling out for them
No matter why or where or when
So my world is expanding ever more
My world is this planet with an open door
The splendours of this planet for all to see
For each and all of my loving family.
