Home Grown
There is no recipe for
Creating a home
It grows from the smells
Of chicken soup
Or lentils
A slow simmer.
The tent of blankets
Made by the fireplace
When the electricity failed.
Hot chocolate
The answer to frostbite
Lemonade after a swim
In the ocean.
The felling of trees that would be cured
to become a floor.
When all of these beginnings ended,
New life comes
As old trinkets become valued
Traditional anchors of a foundation.
Grown from many homes.
Some of the best memories create a home. I’d love to hear some of yours. I’m at http://www.abberolnick.com
