After three years, my house is now a home
It isn’t the tidiest, but it is my safe place

Laundry is often waiting in the dryer
The sink usually holds a few dirty dishes
Closets have items ready for a new home
The office could use some reorganization

The heartbeat is in the kitchen
Where my heart, soul, and body have been nourished
It’s where I spend most of my time
That table has been refuge for many tears

There’s a well loved spot on the couch
It has seen me through love and loss
Encouraged me throughout dreams and heartbreak
It has watched me grow in so many ways

Over three years, my house transformed into my home
It isn’t the tidiest, but it is my safe place.
