A Poem & A Painting: The Most Beautiful Home

Last week I visited Victoria, British Columbia.  I’d never been before and I was enchanted with the beauty and charm of the area!  Throughout this Summer I’ve been fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel, visit some amazing places, and stay in some beautiful homes (like the one in this week’s painting!).  I am ever grateful  to have made so many wonderful memories.  By the same token, I am so happy to be home.  It’s true what they say ~ there’s no place like home!

Home, Sweet Home

Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam

Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home

A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there

Which seek thro’ the world, is ne’er met elsewhere

Home! Home!

Sweet, sweet home!

There’s no place like home

There’s no place like home!

An exile from home splendor dazzles in vain

Oh give me my lowly thatched cottage again

The birds singing gaily that came at my call

And gave me the peace of mind dearer than all

Home, home, sweet, sweet home

There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home!
