If you want to turn
Your house into a home,
Grace it all with bits and bobs
That you can call your own.
Each personal belonging
That holds a special thought
Of a dusted golden memory
Of the day that it was bought.
Decorate each room
With your unique touch alone
And then your house will have a heart
And you will have a home.

Am not finished tweaking it yet; must add a verse about having people there that you love, or whatnot, but comments are appreciated =)

So true
For home is about family and for each to express within that home what they so love so we must give the freedom of expression to our loved ones and a home will truly shine

How sweet! Liked the cheerful note. You hit close to home with this
In my view, one's home is an extention of your soul. The more you make it yours, the more it becomes part of you, your home.

i wouldn't touch or change this at all as hinted in author's notes. Matter of fact what i would do is learn how to do wood burning, and burn this on a plaque and sell them to new homeowners. A wonderful poem.

Aaw, thank you so very much; you actually hit very close on my intention for this. It is my sisters wedding next May, and I've been intending to set this poem onto a product from cafepress, on my own account, and then buy it for her; been thinking on a framed print, so it's very touching [and pleasing!] that you've hit on the same idea as me
thank you so much for your comment!

aww i found it very cute! sometimes i think ppl read so much into poetry that they miss the obvious meaning. this seems like somethin u could stick up on you kitchen door...dont ask me y the kitchen...its the homeliest place in my house i guess...but i think its a very sweet poem

This was pretty good. I don't necessarily know just what your message is. Nonetheless, good job!
Thanks for entering! -

i thought it qualified under the thoughts of a 'happy cheery' poem Majority of people love the idea of their very own house, to decorate in their own way and make it into their own home [which in their fantasies would run perfectly, never gather dust, etc lol]
