Our Home — A River
Our home, like a river flows
Breathes in sunshine, glints, glows
Dresses in shadows drawn by the morning sun
Windows twinkling, glowing with irrepressible fun
Grows, expands gently, with our hearts,
Accommodates guests, welcomes in every part
Ebbs to cocoon us, a soothing coolness, show
On a hot day, provides shade, shadow
Washes away the tiredness of a long day
A refuge from battles, a place of rest, of play
A restless launching pad for new adventures,
A sustaining comfort, in tumultuous ventures
Our home like a river flows, stolid, solvent
Ever changing, ever flowing, ever constant
