Tiny Spaces

Small humble home that I was raised
inside these walls I spent most of my days

Legroom was sparse in our tiny address
things always cluttered and sometimes a mess

We lacked riches, money was tight
sometimes we’d laugh, and sometimes we’d fight

People would ask how we lived in this way
now looking back I would not trade a day

Although we were cramped, had no room to spare
our hearts were gigantic with love to share
