The Sound Of Home Poem by Matthew Holloway

The sound of home
~
it's joyous, truly
the sounds and scents
the comfort found
in the place I rest
~
the dogs which bark
the cats that sleep
the flowers set
in the gardens keep
~
when foods a cooking
that sweet aroma
lamb, chicken, beef
or something other
~
the music playing
that child's laughter
those conversations
serious and foolish
I love them all
and would not change them
~
the are records and books
aplenty to choose
filler for the soul
open to any reach
~
the dogs still bark
now the cats are mewing
music is loudly playing
and the child
still laughing
~
this is the soundtrack
I'll never change
my home, my life
and those scents
are real to the nose
a house alive
~
the sound of home
it is something
we just, we just know
