I’ve built a home in my heart named Us.
Inside those walls stand you and me
Squeezing each other’s hand three times steady
Our own secret I love you
The walls are vast and sturdy
They’ve taken us years to build
One room opens to a next and a next
An intricate maze that we’ve built together
With twists and turns that can only be
Maneuvered together as two with
Your mind and mine as an interlocking key
There is a hot stove and a warm bed
A fireplace burning inside both our souls
There are kids like wildflowers
Growing all around us
Two chairs facing inward
Love written on every surface
In every room bits of us shine forth
Computers in the study with that
Beautiful chaos of video games blaring
Bookshelves in the living room teeming
With my psychology mind
There is music buzzing through the air
An electric piano and a ukulele
Your singing a soundtrack to our
Mornings and nights
Our own little studio
Colors in acrylic on paper
Murals on the wall
Red like our hearts
Our blood pumping swiftly in unison
Green like the garden of love
Our children will grow in
Yellow like your smile
A brilliant sun that warms me
That has me looking up up up.
