where love and laughter dwells,
where lovely flowers, and luscious meals
create delicious smells.
A place where PETS can scamper
through the day so happily,
then in the evening rest beside you
warm and cozily.
2. Where CHILDREN feel safe
and with their toys just love to play.
And when they're grown, still find their home
the nicest place to stay.
Where teenagers find true support
from parents, day and night.
While learning from example
what is truly wrong or right.
3. Ensure their FRIENDS feel welcome,
even though they may have flaws,
for building youthful spirits
is a truly worthy cause.
When they're young adults you must
support them through and through.
They need your strength to help them cope
with life in all they do.
4. Make your home a REFUGE
from the trials of daily life,
where outside on the doorstep
those who enter leave all strife.
Be sure to stop what you are doing
whether night or day,
to listen to whatever
family members have to say.
For if you remark "later"
you may lose your chance to hear
the deepest thoughts within their hearts
and what they hold most dear.
5. These times are the most precious gifts
a family can possess.
They should be treasured more
than wealth or vain worldly success.
Making HOME a cozy happy
place for those you love
enables God to shower joy
and wisdom from above.
He will help you realize
as long as you might live,
these truly are the choicest blessings
He could ever give!
