Built of brick standing tall and strong <br />Lovingly tended garden in which birds sing their evening song <br />Each tile on the roof keeps out the weather <br />Stretched out in the room, lounging on a sofa made of leather <br />Sliding down the banister is a childhood favorite game <br /> <br />Toasty warm by the fire and its living flame <br />Home is where the heart is and my heart belongs to you <br />In my bed I stay put when recovering from flu <br />Semi, terraced or bungalow, each house has a tale to tell <br /> <br />Hunting round for somewhere new, when it comes to sell <br />Outstanding architecture or just a shack we all need a place to live <br />Unfortunately that's not the case for the beggar in the street, so let's be kind and give <br />Shine a light in your window and put out the welcome mat <br />Everybody needs good neighbours so pop round for a chat<br /><br />Richard Sockett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bless-this-house-2/
