The Heartbeat of Home

A happy home is filled with light Where laughter echoes through the night The kitchen smells of tasty delight We’re going to have some fun tonight The floors hold footprints, big and small Where people danced with friends and all A house that once was pure despair Is now a home for those who care When you’re sad and don’t know what to do Your family will come and comfort you Home is where our minds are at ease Where bright moments never cease A joyful yelp, a happy tear These emotions happen here Home is a place where love grows Even when family goes Home is where happiness blooms The only place that never glooms There's no such thing as a dull home Because you never feel you’re living alone Home is where you can eat and sleep The place you’ll never feel defeat Where you have a roof over your head You will never feel any dread A home is where families share And a place full of love and care The difference between a house and a home Is a home is together and a house is alone
