BUILDING A DREAM HOUSE

Start with commitment

And go from there.

Build a frame out of caring-

Oh, what good times we'll share.

Add a coat of affection,

To make our lives bright;

Hammer in some respect and

Build it right.

Paper it with honesty

To keep our path straight,

Insulate with kindness-

Our joy will be great.

Next, we'll heat it with passion

To make our nights warm,

Seal it with trust

To shield us from harm.

When it's all built,

We'll begin with the inside;

We'll furnish it with love

And "in love" we'll abide.

This is the perfect way to build.
I agree. Keep up the good work.
