Our Home

Mother called up when I was busy at work Be home early, raw dinner awaits to be cooked As I open the door of our dear little home I felt welcomed upon seeing my loving folks Dinner was a festive and we were full Then together we watch our favorite show When my parents eyes betrayed sleepiness They bid me goodnight then doze Before I lay down on my inviting bed I muse for a while, then recited a prayer I thank the Lord for keeping my family In this sweet home as together we stay Our home, our little heaven is where my heart Here I was raised full of affection and bliss To my parents I give my care and undying love A day's a treasure with them, not to be missed

Family love the most precious of all, its just another priceless thing of the world. So beautiful to read and feel that I'm lucky too! Very touchy specially because very few people actually care but then we do:) Love to you and yours, Chitra
