A Fresh Start

A flicker of warmth on a breezy night Where fireflies like fallen stars blaze bright It's not just a place with walls, a roof, and a window too, But it's a haven, really dreams really do come true It doesn't just have multiple rooms There's friendship and love, that forever blooms A confided place where secrets are kept Between every child, adult, and pet An abundance of life, an orchestra of sound From lively chatter, to creaking of the ground A strong bond woven by trust Forever lasting, as life adjusts Boisterous laughter echoing through the halls A magnificent feeling that enthralls Spreading joy and warmth all year round, In the cheerful echoes, happiness is found In the kitchen, aromas linger in the air Scents so sweet, beyond compare The fragrance of cinnamon fills the room Erasing all traces of despair and gloom As you savour the flavours on your tongue, a symphony of tastes have begun A tinge of lime, the sweetness of cream, a hint of spice like a comforting dream A warm touch, a soft embrace A feeling of love I can't replace The smooth surface on a window pane The quiet patterning of gentle rain Worn out floorboards hold stories deep From cherished promises to good nights sleep A sanctuary that's cozy and still A refuge from the day's harsh chill Stress dwindles away and peace unfolds A story comes to mind, meant to be told In the heart of the house where memories reside With open discussions where feelings can't hide Within the walls our minds take flight Where joy and warmth comes to light For planting hopeful seeds in peoples hearts, A place where families have a fresh start
