If your home is not a mansion

In fact it's really rather small

There's no storage cupboards

Stuff littered in the hall

Carpets looking rather worn

Chairs ripped at the seems

Floor boards loudly creaking

Gaps showing in between

Don't forget it's just a building

Still standing when you go

People won't remember this

Instead they'll surely know

It was how you made them feel
As they were greeted at the door

If you welcomed them with love
Like no other has before

For this you'll be remembered
Doesn't cost much to be kind
A pleasant smile
A gentle hug
Has most impact
On the mind
I took a long time to realise what really matters is how you treat people as this leaves the biggest impression not where you live.   Your impact matters to all you meet negative or positive it affects  !
