This Is What Makes Up A Home

This Is What Makes Up A Home

A baby’s first walk
A baby’s first talk
This is what makes up a home
Framed pictures on the wall
Doorway notches to see how tall
This is what makes up a home
A home cooked meal
With lots of soup spills
This is what makes up a home
Peanut butter and jelly
While rubbing your belly
This is what makers up a home
The first day of school
A shade tree that’s cool
This is what makes up a home
Butter that melts over corn on the cob
Coming home late from a real busy job
This is what makes up a home
Birthday present from one to seventeen
Macaroni and cheese when the days are lean
This is what makes up a home
Puppy dogs that lick an ice cream face
Trophies on the mantel from that winning race
This is what makes up a home
Graduation pictures and homecoming queen
Faded denim and raggedy jeans
This is what makes up a home
Fireworks that explode on the 4th of July
Children grow up and say goodbye
This is what makes up a home
