Two Houses, Two Homes

Two houses I call home Two hearts that make me whole In the two homes I feel that love resides Where all of our everlasting memories abide Where every room every face Feels familiar,a sacred space One home, a childhood nest Where laughter and tears find rest The other a heaven anew Where dreams and faith shines through Both homes, A sense of peace A feeling of release Both homes a love that's true A heart that beats for me and you In one home memories linger Echoes of joy and a tender finger In the other,new moments unfold A story still being written yet untold Both homes a part of me A dual heartbeat,wild and free Both homes a love that's real A sense of belonging Hearts that feel One home where roots run deep A foundation strong A soul to keep The other where wings take flight A future bright,hearts alight Both homes a sense of pride A feeling of belonging,deep inside Both homes a love that's strong A bond that last life long One home,where traditions hold A heritage rich, A story to be told The other where diversity reigns A cultural tapestry,with vibrant stains Both homes a sense of pride A feeling of belonging,deep inside Both homes a love that's strong A bond that last life long In the silence of one home night Stars shine bright,with a gentle light In the other, city sound abound A vibrant rhythm hearts unbound A heart that beats for me and you Both homes a sense of comfort found A feeling of peace that wraps around Both homes a love that shines so bright A beacon of darkness,a guiding light
