A Dream of Home

Right now I don’t feel at home anywhere

But I hope to be home someday

I want a big kitchen with lots of room

For the family cooks to prep and work

And together prepare a meal

For everyone to enjoy

The kitchen is the heart of a home

Where love is created from all the many

Ingredients that sustain us

I envision a huge dining table

With plenty of room for dozens

To gather and feast together

Sharing food, laughter and love

I picture a living space, vast but cozy

With seating for everyone

To enjoy popcorn and a good movie

Or a karaoke festival of friends

I want a place for everything

And everything in its place

And I want the one who knows where it all is

To be me, me, me

At the end of the day, I want my own bed

Where I can cuddle the dog and lay down my head

And know I am home, sweet home
