Home is the first school,

the first church for young ones

where they learn what is right and what is good and

what is kind

where they go for comfort when hurt or sick

where joy is shared and sorrows eased.

Where fathers and mothers are respected and loved

where children are wanted

where money is not so important as loving kindness

where even tea kettle sings from happiness

that is home.

GOD BLESS OUR HOMES
