Our Home

Here stands a special place
With beauty all aglow
This lovely placed called home
where warmth and blessings flow

Sunshines upon by day 
And moon keeps watch by night
Angels hovering close-by
With graceful wings insight

A wreath upon the door
hung there gingery
The porch is most inviting
For friends and family

Warmest hues of rainbow
Surround the walls with love
Sweetest scent of flowers
Yields fragrance from above

The Olver's are gracious hosts
Each guess remembers well
Care for a cup of tea?
Do sit and rest a spell

Hearty conversation
Plenty of good cheer
That's why this house is special
It's memories we hold dear

Mary, this is a very special poem. Filled with tenderness and good feelings. In line 3 in the first stanza - did you mean to use the word place? You are a great writer and I would not want to see one of your poems eliminated from a contest for spelling. Again. congratulations on this sensational feature of the week. lainie
