Home sweet home

                                          
I just now read  Suzi's Write Tribe's unique idea of   writing 
whatever comes to mind.  The first thought which came to my mind was 'my home'.The home which is my nest, my life, and my succour   Wherever we go, when ever we go, we wish to be back home. Many a times we wish to go for an outing for some days,but once away from home we yearn to be back  home. Our own abode!  There is a popular saying,'the heart is where the home is'. It is literally true in my case. I love my home, my corner, and my  belongings. 
                                  We built our house with great enthusiasm, devotion, zeal and emotion. All our life's savings we happily spent on the construction of our dream house. When the house was completed my  exuberance   and exhilaration knew no bounds. My husband's  love for gardening  got an impetus. We have more than five hundred plants, which he tends with great care and passion.On the roof top we have planted flowers. On the back side is 'kitchen garden' where we have grown tomatoes, brinjal,cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, lemons, guava pomegranates and many other plants.It is very fulfilling to see the plants growing. In the balconies, we have placed potted plants.
 Here is a small poem, which I wrote when my grand daughters were here. Now both of them are  pursuing higher studies. The elder one in USA  and the younger one in the college hostel.

A home that was in my dreams

Its dream no more, its my nest

A look at it makes my eyes gleam

A wish fulfilled, it is the best.

Its  here we lead  happy  hours

Chirping of little ones  gleefully

Dancing, singing, in rainy showers

Mom and daughters enjoy freely.

Flowers of all  hues and shades

 Planted  tenderly with love and care

With an ornamental green canopy

Swaying merrily  on the roof garden.

Hubby and me lost in old memories

Soft divine music,manna  for the soul

An old couple, he and I, playing card

Enjoying each moment in our dream.
