THIS IS A HOME WHERE CHILDREN LIVE - BY JUDITH BOND

"You may not find things all in place,
Friend, when you enter here,
But we're a home where children live,
We hold them very dear,

And smudges on the wall,
When the kids are gone,
we'll clean them up,
Right now were playing ball.

For there's one thing of which we're sure,
These children are on loan,
One day there always underfoot,
Next thing you know there gone.

That's when we'll have a well-kept house,
When they're off on their own,
Right now, this is where children live,
A loved and lived in home."

-Judith Bond (1980)
