What makes a home? I asked my little boy, And this is what he said, ‘You, mother, and when father comes, Our table set all shiny, And my bed; And, mother, I think it’s home, Because we love each other." You who are old and wise, What would you say If you were asked the question? Tell ae, pray. And simply, As a little child, the old Wise ones can answer nothing more; A man, a woman and a child; Their love Warm as the gold hearth-fire Along the floor; A table, and a lamp for light, And smooth white beds at night; Only the old sweet fundamental things. And long ago I learned Home may be near, home may be far, But it is anywhere that love And a few plain household treasures are.
