There’s no place like home
philip lacey 1956 (United Kingdom)
Sitting silent contemplating aging
Baby’s crying nappy needs changing
Dinners burning house needs cleaning
You’re overwrought you feel like screaming
Nerves on edge your tempers igniting
Children argue constantly fighting
Need some peace a haven for refuge
Shelter from this emotional deluge
But you wouldn’t change a thing
All the joy you’re family brings
Day after day you’ll find
An abundance of happy times
All the love your children bring you
When they’re sad it’s you they cling to
And you know there’s no denying
Your fruits of nature are gratifying
Life in a family home domesticated living zone
There’s no place like home
