THIS PLACE CALLED HOME

 It’s more

 ^^*^*^*

 I once thought that home was where my childhood was spent.

But changed my mind when I married.

I chanced it again when I looked at the son

Whom for nine months I carried.

 

Age’s wisdom has made me now realize

That home isn’t just an address.

It’s the warmth in your heart that a memory brings

With every mental caress.

 

It’s a phone call, a visit, a card in the mail –

No! it’s a lot more than this.

It’s the closeness you share with a loved one.

Yes! Home is where the heart is.
