Best Of Homes
 

 


Home Sweet Home
The very very best of all places!




Home is the place the heart goes
When it has need of rest
When the winds of life blow hard and strong
And the spirit is upset.





A cardboard box by the corner
Or the largest mansion tall
Home is where the heart lives
The rest dosen't matter at all





Rich men think that silver and gold
The best of homes can buy
Still mansions can be cold as hell
If love isn't living inside





Better to be in that cardboard box
With people whose love is warm
With just a small candle to light their night
Love keeps them safe from harm





But just give me a house by the side of the road
A cottage cosy and small
A sweet little dog and a calico cat
Then I'll step aside from it all





I don't need much to just get by
A song, a poem, God's book
A door where love can enter in
And a window out which I'll look





There I'll watch the world as the seasons pass
No matter what comes or goes
ThereI'll be content as man can be
In my castle beside life's road





There I will live, a happy soul
Till my life span has run out
Then I'll change this home for my golden throne
Where sweet angels are flying about.

My choice of words best.
