A Simple Little House

"I like a simple little house

With flowers by the door,

An ample larder for my needs

And not much more in store.

I like a window toward the sun

And doors that open wide,

The trickle of a bath for birds

With feathered friends beside.

I like a tidy nook inside

Where my books and slippers lie,

A cup for tea, a magazine,

A warming hearth nearby.

I like some trinkets on the sills,

White ruffles at the panes,

The comfort of a sturdy roof

To shelter me from rains.

I like the cozy ambiance,

A place of sweet retreat

Where life unfolds along the way

And each new day's a treat!"

~Virginia Borman Grimmer

Sweet Kelli, at There Is No Place Like Home, shared this poem and pictures of her cozy home on Monday, with an invitation for others to do the same. Thank you Kelli! I love this poem and enjoyed putting pictures of my "simple little house" with it! :-)
