When the tea is brought at five o'clock
and all the neat curtains are drawn with care,
the little black cat with bright green eyes
is suddenly purring there.

A True Home
"A roof to keep out the rain. Four walls to keep out the wind. Floors
to keep out the cold. Yes, but home is more than that. It is the laugh
of a baby, the song of a mother, the strength of a father. Warmth of
loving hearts, light from happy eyes, kindness, loyalty, comradeship.
Home is first school...for the young ones where they learn what is
right, what is good, and what is kind. Where they go for comfort
when they are hurt or sick. Where joy is shared and sorrow eased.
Where fathers and mothers are respected and loved. Where children
are wanted. Where the simplest food is good enough for kings
because it is earned. Where money is not so important as loving-
kindness. Where even the teakettle sings from happiness. That is
home." ~~ Ernestine Schumann-Heink
