Home

 

A roof to keep out the rain,
Four walls to keep out the wind,
Floors to keep out the cold –
Yes, but home is more than that.
It is the laugh of a baby,
The song of a mother,
The strength of a father,
Warmth of loving hearts,
Light from happy eyes,
Kindness, loyalty, companionship.
Home is the first school
And first church for young ones,
Where they learn what is right,
What is good and what is kind.
Where they go for comfort
When they are hurt or sick.
Where joy is shared
And sorrow eased.
Where fathers and mothers
Are respected and loved,
Where children are wanted.
Where the simplest food
Is good enough for kings
Because it is earned.
Where money is not so important
As loving kindness.
Where even the teakettle
Sings from happiness.
That is Home.
God bless it!
- Mme. Schumann-Heink
