Analysis of Home Is Where The Heart Is
George O'Connor 1974 (Dublin)
A foundation we pour to start our journey
Bricks we lay to sate our yearning
Floors we place to carry the load
Windows glazed to view our road
A roof atop to hold the storm
A fireplace to keep us warm
Furnished with love we'll not feel alone
Our abode, our locket, we call home
