When Love Is In Place

A house is a home when love is in place 
And children are singing songs of delight.
Laughter comes squealing with grins on each face.

Parents and children with wide eyes embrace.
New hopes and sweet dreams on youngsters alight.
A house is a home when love is in place.

Fears and bad dreams may on some nights encase.
Wise words, good parents, can rub out night’s fright.
Laughter comes squealing with grins on each face.

There is no love that could ever replace
Mother and father with love shining bright.
A house is a home when love is in place.

If ever you think your heart has no grace.
Stand by your family; never take flight.
A house is a home when love is in place.
Laughter comes squealing with grins on each face.

Thank you for your most welcome comment. Families are so important and sometimes they are taken for granted...then, lost.
