A collection of rooms - four walls
a floor, some furniture - a house
a shell, no soul, empty....waiting
For someone to fill it - waiting
for a family's love, laughter - dreams
A home....a solid foundation.
You gave that to me - my father
You stood inside it and said yes
This is the place - this house.
A collection of rooms - four walls
a floor, some furniture - my home
echoes with the gifts you gave....
love
----Lori Elliott Webster
Scott and I hope all of you had an enjoyable weekend and Father's Day! Enjoy the coming week, my friends, we'll be back with normal blogging next week.

Lovely Lori, and thank you for that poem.
Ps. Horace Silver classic perfection
Thank you, Miss H.! I knew there was actually a song with the same title, but I'd forgotten the tune and who wrote it. I keep plagiarizing titles, but not words....title inspiration is very dear at 11:00 pm on a Sunday night.
It's all your own, Lori. I'm impressed.
Thanks, John.....once in awhile I like to live it up. :>
The title sounded familiar. So now we have another nice one. Horace Silver & Lori Webster!
Thanks, Mike!
Lovely tribute and expression of love ...
He was very special, Rose. Thanks!
