home sweet home
Holly Szurczynski 1977
This bitter structure,
This place I call home,
Memories linger on the walls,
Frames tightly hold.
Soft fragrance carried to each room,
Given off by candlelight,
Each creek as you walk,
Carries into the night.
In my palace,
I roam these halls,
As a deck of cards,
I protect so it won't fall.
Memories occur,
From childhood past,
Carried with me through the years,
As I look into my time glass.
Home sweet home,
Made by me,
Open doors welcome you,
Come and have a seat.
