They say home is where the heart is,
And I now know that to be true.
For no matter where we are, Dear,
I'm at home when I'm with you.

A home is built on solid ground,
A trusted foundation must be poured,
To hold all the weight and pressures,
Of every brick and every board.

Walls are built proud and tall,
Providing security and protection.
Layers of strength from weather and storms,
Tightly bonded at every connection.

A strong roof is then required,
Mindful of all that is around.
Carefully gripping it all together,
And now your shelter can be found.

Most have beautiful windows,
Offering an exquisite view.
But no view compares to what I see,
When my view is looking at you.

They say  home is where the heart is,
And I now know that to be true,
Because no matter where we are, I'm home,
For my home lies within you.
