Sonnet 22: Homes Are Made By The Wisdom Of Women

Rating: 5.0


Homes are made by the wisdom of women
But can be destroyed by the words of a fool
That dearest is a proverb of wise men.
Only a fool buys a two legged stool.
You have created a beautiful home
That is full of my loves delightful charms
That makes my heart to stay and not to roam
And soothes my aching temples with sweet balms.
The home is where heart’s cupboard is not bare
Where peace and comfort roams freely about
Where loves garden is tended with such care
And love’s talk is never raised to a shout.
Our home is a tribute to our sweet love
A dovecot fitting for a turtle dove.

While houses are built by men, a home is made by a woman! It is a haven of love and care where the family breaks loose from the cold formalities and civilities of social life and each one throws off his habits of shy reserve and becomes joyous and free hearted! It should be free of angry strife and turmoil! Enjoyed! !
