The New Home

New walls, new halls
New ceilings and floors
New spaces, replaces, what was familiar before

New palette, new canvas
Your ideas enhances
The creativity with in, it's time to explore

Questions, objections
Who's vision will win?
However you change it, you'll change it again

The paint, the flooring
Will make it all shine
However you do it, you'll do it just fine

So have fun, don't sweat it
Even if others don't get it.
An orange bathroom, red bedroom will rock

Till you get up one morning
And with out warning
Your own taste you may start to mock.

No problem, rearrange it,
It's nothing, so change it
By after noon you'll forget all the old.

Try this and try that
Try semi-gloss, try flat
Do something you never would do

Just go get the ladder
What the heck, it doesn't matter
Because after all in your heart you know it's true

A home is not a color
It not a fabric or made of wood
It's the people who live in it that can make a drab room look good

A Sophie smile
An Amelia giggle
Will warm the house in such a way

A football game
A bunch of friends
Will make you thankful day to day


That you have this place to come
When the world is spinning wrong
This is home your place of comfort
This is home with familiar faces
This is home with smiles and hugs
This is home...
