Prayer For a
Little Home
God send us a little home,
To come back to, when we roam.
Low walls, and fluted tiles,
Wide windows, a view for miler.
Red firelight and deep chairs,
Small white beds upstairs.
Great talk in little nooks,
Dim colors rows of books.
One picture on each wall,
Not many tbinc sat all.
God send us a little ground,
Tall trees standing around.
Homely flowers in brown sod,
Overhead, thy stars, O God.
God bless, when winds blow,
Our home, and all we know
