My Home-Sweet-Home

by Debra White


My home-sweet-home is everything
I'd hoped that it would be, and more,
and whilst it's not fit for a king,
it's perfect for me and my four.

My home-sweet-home ain't all that grand,
nor half as pretty as I'd planned,
but home is where my family
all live together happily.
