No Place Like Home-F

There's a place where we all get our start.                                                                                                           It's that one place we are likely to find love and a heart.

As time gradually evaporates,                                                                                                                                        we  watch each one's attempt to emancipate.

Fortunately, they thrive to be completely independent.                                                                                                        But some fail to succeed, and become causes to lament.                                                                                    

That is why we love to say, "There's no place like home".                                                                                    They have a tendency to return, no matter where they roam.

Sometimes, the goings get rough; and the times get tough.                                                                                     They must always know that, at home, there's always love enough.
