Where is the home I used to know
with WELCOME on the door,
where love and laughter used to flow
with sunlight on the floor.
Where is the wood stove warm, and tall,
the kitchen, where we meet.
Who answers now the homing call
with steaming cherished treat.
Why do the echoes still retum,
with story book and song.
Inviting me to live and leam
and know where I belong.
Where are the foot steps on the
The friendly candle light.
The voices of the evening prayer
the comfort for the night?
I cannot answer you my dear,
for I shall never roam,
from living in the atmosphere
that gave my heart a home.
