| HOME SWEET HOME |
| A HOME IS MADE OF MANY THINGS, BRICK, STONE, WOOD, AND SUCH AS THESE. MAN MADE MATERIALS THAT YOU CAN SEE, NOT THE OTHER THINGS THAT HOME IS TO ME. |
|
| HOME IS MADE OF PEACE AND LOVE OF PRECIOUS THINGS FROM GOD ABOVE. THE HAPPY COUPLE STARTS THE HOME, WITH CHILDREN TO FILL ITS ROOMS. |
|
| SOME PEOPLE THINK OF HOME AS A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT HOME IS REALLY ABOUT. THE PITTER PATTER OF LITTLE FEET, AND GOOD FOOD, WITH PLENTY TO EAT. |
|
| THE FAMILY AROUND THE TABLE AT DINNER, JOINING HANDS TO THANK GOD FOR ALL HE HAS GIVEN. THE SOUNDS OF CHATTER AND LAUGHTER FILL THE ROOM, AS YOU NOTICE THAT TIME HAS GONE BY TO SOON. |
|
| THE LEFTOVER SMELLS COMING FROM THE KITCHEN DOOR, AS MAMA WARMS UP THE FOOD REMAINING FROM THE MEAL BEFORE. WHAT A SPECIAL PLACE IN OUR HOME, WHERE WE ALL GATHER, WE'RE NEVER ALONE. |
|
| AT CLOSE OF DAY, WE GET READY FOR BED, AND SAY OUR PRAYERS BEFORE WE LAY DOWN OUR HEADS. THANKING GOD FOR ANOTHER DAY TOGETHER, FOR HELPING US ALL THE STORMS OF LIFE TO WEATHER. |
|
| WHEN WE ALL GROW UP AND LEAVE HOME, I THINK THAT MAMA AND DADDY WILL FEEL ALONE.... BUT THAT BIG OLD HOUSE WHERE WE GREW UP, WILL ALWAYS SEEM LIKE HOME TO US. |
|
| LOTS OF MEMORIES LINGER THERE AMONG ALL THE THINGS WE USE TO SHARE. WELL, MAMA AND DADDY HAVE GONE TO THERE NEW HOME, WHERE THEY WILL NEVER WORRY, OR BE ALONE. Written by Shirley Barr August 4, 2004 All Rights Reserved |
