Home

A little spot in the heartland,

A little spot in your heart.

Where families are created,

And legacies carry on.

Where meals are around a table,

And the front of a fridge is your trophy case.

Where names are recycled,

And recipes stay secret.

Where talking over one another is normal,

And arguing a second language.

But things get messy,

We all grow up.

Never worrying what the future may bring,

Always having home as a crutch.
