Home is where the heart is, they say,
It's where you hang your hat
No place like it
Sweet place

Lovely words to frame and hang
If you have walls
Soft words for a throw pillow
If you have a bed

I've never seen a plaque which reads:
"Home means meeting basic needs"
Wind from my back, rain from my head
A place to store a loaf of bread
A place to hold what can't be carried
Somewhere safe to change my clothes
A door to close when nature calls
When love wants making
When tears need shed
A door to open

Look within your walls today
Imagine what you'd take away
Inside a sack
And upon your back

Imagine what you'd take away
And all you'd leave behind
