Constance La France Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

"Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home !
A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there
Which seek thro' the world, is ne'er met elsewhere!"

by_ John Howard Payne, 1823

(Home! Sweet Home!) Song

Sweet Memories of Home

Oh, I recall the home of my childhood,
and those beautiful glassed French doors,
the sliding on shiny floors made of dark wood !
My sweet bedroom had an antique chest of drawers,
oh, a mansion like front staircase spiraled up, up, up, up,
and I will never forget the nooks where games were made-up !

Sam Kauffman October 22, 2021 at 12:31 PM I always loved the French doors going into our living and dining rooms. This short verse brings back so many wonderful childhood memories of home, especially the "nooks." We had a window seat that was coziness on rainy days! Best of all wishes for the contest!
