No Other Word Like It

There is no other word quite like it

No matter where our feet may roam

There is no other word that will leave the heart stirred

Like four humble curves spelling home

The world has much wonder to offer

Of foothills and kingdoms to poem

But one square of sod holds the whisper of God

It’s the dear little box we call home

Here lies the spoil of tender-sweet toil

Here is love’s hearth, safe and warm

Here is the cup that family fills up

In a wee little haven called home

Here is a door always open

A solace from life’s heartless storm

The old kitchen chairs glow with laughter and prayers

In a humble respite called home

Here is a poor man’s palace

Here is the small child’s nest

Here is the awning of simple belonging

Here is forgiveness and rest

There is no other place quite like it

Wherever on earth we may roam

None can compare to the brick-mortar square
Of beautiful home sweet home

"Home is the most beautiful word there is"

Laura Ingalls~

I found the wall-hanging at our local dollar-store.
Beautiful words at a bargain:) H-m-m-m-m...
can one really put a price on beautiful words...like 'home' and 'family'?
May we never take these wonderful blessing for granted
and may we always give them our utter-best!
