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.
