Love At Home

Although Grandpa didn't learn to read music notes he loved to sing.He and his sweet heart " M.L" loved harmonize together. And later they loved singing along with their children around the old upright piano and one of their favorites was " Love At Home". For grandpa its still one of his favorites always taking him back to those wonderful days when his kids were much younger.
There is beauty all around,
When there’s love at home;
There is joy in every sound,
When there’s love at home;
Peace and plenty here abide,
Smiling sweet on every side,
Time doth softly, sweetly glide,
When there’s love at home.
- Refrain 1:
  Love at home, love at home;
  Time doth softly, sweetly glide,
  When there’s love at home.
In the cottage there is joy,
When there’s love at home;
Hate and envy ne’er annoy,
When there’s love at home;
Roses bloom beneath our feet,
All the earth’s a garden sweet,
Making life a bliss complete,
When there’s love at home.
- Refrain 2:
  Love at home, love at home;
  Making life a bliss complete,
  When there’s love at home.
Love becomes a way of life,
When there’s love at home;
Sweet, insistent end to strife,
When there’s love at home;
Glad submission each one’s gift,
Willing pledge to love and lift,
Healing balm for every rift,
When there’s love at home.
- Refrain 3:
  Love at home, love at home;
  Healing balm for every rift,
  When there’s love at home.
Anger cools and pressures cease,
When there’s love at home;
Children learn to live in peace,
When there’s love at home;
Courage to reach out in grace,
Meet a stranger face to face,
Find a reconciling place,
When there’s love at home.
- Refrain 4:
  Love at home, love at home;
  Find a reconciling place,
  When there’s love at home.
There’s no question you can’t ask,
When there’s love at home;
There is strength for any task,
When there’s love at home;
Sharing joy in work or play,
Confidence to face the day,
Knowing love will find a way,
When there’s love at home.
- Refrain 5:
  Love at home, love at home;
  Knowing love will find a way,
  When there’s love at home.
Kindly heaven smiles above,
When there’s love at home;
All the world is filled with love,
When there’s love at home;
Sweeter sings the brooklet by,
Brighter beams the azure sky;
Oh, there’s One who smiles on high
When there’s love at home.
- Refrain 6:
  Love at home, love at home;
  Oh, there’s One who smiles on high
  When there’s love at home.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING!

Be kinder than necessary,

for everyone you meet is fighting

some kind of battle.

Live simply,

Love generously,

Care deeply,

Speak kindly

My Grandpa

I like to walk with Grandpa,
His steps are short like mine.
He doesn't say "Now Hurry Up,"
He always takes his time.

I like to walk with Grandpa,
His eyes see thing like mine do -
Wee pebbles bright, a funny cloud,
Half hidden drops of dew.

Most people have to hurry,
They don't stop and see.
I'm glad that God made Grandpa,
Unrushed, and young like me.
