Two-Story Heart

Home should be a safe place,
Somewhere you want to go,
Not a deadly battlefield
Where fear and anger grow.
Home must be a garden
Showered by loving light,
A haven of tranquility
Not a ring in which to fight.
When you need a pillow,
A safe place to lay your head
Take comfort in my softness
And where angels daily tread.
I'll champion all your causes,
Catch you when you fall
Because home is where the heart is
And I am at your beckon call.

Really nice rhyme, so true your words, I wrote a similar theme, If love is a battlefield, domestic abuse is a real problem, thanks for sharing.

Home should be a sanctuary of love and care, but exceptions occur ??

Yes this is particularly poignant because a friend has recently been the victim of domestic abuse. Thanks for your comment.

Thank you Tim, someone I care about deeply is in an abusive relationship and I feel helpless.
