Home

In this place
A tenderness
Holds so warmly.

In this place
No trace
Of a hectic pace.

In this place
Children can bask
In simple acceptance,
Feeling family peace.

************************************************
Said Before

For it's all been said before,
 And said better
Than you can ever say it --
That's what skeptics say.

But isn't each snowflake
 Unique?
And isn't each child's eyes
 Bright with hope?


So youth, say it your way,
 However that may be;
Just be yourself
 And see if the world
    Won't respond.
