Shivers run through the spine,
not of fear but tonight the rain be hard.
No roof may protect from the hail, but knowing the mind is sheltered.
Fear has no place here, as there is a hedge of protection unseen.
Loneliness may have found it's place here on earth but a meal
is still eaten with a son and father.
Comfort is not found in a cushy sofa with a fire burning in the corner,
It's found in the heart where love burns fierce to warm the soul.
A house is just a house,
things are just things but
living in your name is the only home completed.
