Make Your House A Home

Folder: 
Personal Favorites
When smiles light the room
and hands softly offer warmth
When integrity and compassion loom
and triumph perseveres
soon-decaying
doom

When hope rises above uncertainty
When joy exceeds the pain
When the mind forgives a bruised heart
and legs endure the hazardous terrain

When those aching feet cease to roam
may the memories standing at a door
bring out the best of yore
and make your humble house
a treasured home

I liked this

But it is sad to me now

In my life

( and I know in many more )

That something so simple

Is a Utopian Dream.

KS

 one other thing.

You were on the same wavelength as I was

On the morning this came out.

I had written a little something before reading this.

forgive me if i read too much

forgive me if i read too much into your comment, but i believe i agree, no matter how complex and intricate our demands become for what life has to offer, it all comes back to yearning for a sense of belonging, and for validation from people you admire the most... a simple sense of worth in an ever-changing spectrum of expectations, past memories, and future experiences.  Even if you feel like you're living a 2/10 life (and i could make that argument, heh) ...it's on you to make that life the best 2/10 imaginable..in hopes of 3/10, or even a 10/10 someday

There is so much more

That can be said on what might be considered

A simple subject.

It is such an emotional thing ( to me ).

Not everyone is the same

Though they claim to be  ( or not ).

Where I am now

Could never be a home.

My Home is gone.

That is a start on my opinion on this subject.

When it comes down to it

I like stability.

To tell the truth.

Your poem makes me sad.

Such a simple word.

Take care

And of what you have.
