Home Is Where The Heart Is



A foundation we pour to start our journey
Bricks we lay to sate our yearning
Floors we place to carry the load
Windows glazed to view our road
A roof atop to hold the storm
A fireplace to keep us warm
Furnished with love we'll not feel alone
Our abode, our locket, we call home

About this poem

It simply describes a "home" as opposed to a "house" and what that means to a loving couple.
