There is a place I know,
\nWhere daffodils and roses bloom,
\nTall trees and green grass also grow,
\nWhile bluebirds sing a lovely tune.<\/p>\n
People love to sit on the rickety porch swing,
\nWhile watching little children hard at play,
\nSeeing the joy that kids will bring,
\nAnd, growing old together come what may.<\/p>\n
The sun is shining ever so bright,
\nReflecting the image off a blue pond,
\nOf a young girl with her Barbie kite,
\nThen, a grandfather looks proudly on.<\/p>\n
From the kitchen come wonderful smells,
\nOf fried chicken and homemade rolls,
\nIt is finger licking’ good, as you can tell,
\nGood for the body, mind, and soul.<\/p>\n
In the den, a family sets up board games,
\nI see Monopoly, Trivial Prusuit, and Scrabble,
\nFamily favorites always remain the same,
\nWhile buying property and watching words unravel.<\/p>\n
This is a place I like to call home,
\nWithin it’s walls remain a love that is steadfast,
\nIt is where horses, cows, and prairie dogs roam,
\nHowever, the memories are made to last.<\/p>\n
