Not Far From Here

There is a house not far from here
where everything is just as it should be.  
Love and Respect are the parents 
and their children are Peace and Serenity.  
Auntie Gratitude and Uncle Abundance
are allowed to stay as long as they would like. 
There are times cousin Fear knocks on the door
but turned away polite.
Granny Wisdom and Papa Truth
Live in the house too
They enjoy the company of Big Brother Laughs
and Sister Positive Attitude.
They do have a neighbor 
named Mr. Doubt
Who only complains
When Mrs. Believe is out
She sometimes has lunch with Ms. Possibility
They like to discuss the meaning of life
Over cake, pie, or even coffee
Each and every evening 
On each and every day
The family gets together to honor
Old Mother Pray
She passed long ago
But her lessons still remain 
All the rules to "Home Sweet Home"
are very simple and plain.
"If you treat others,
Better than you treat yourself,
The universe unfolds for you
all of it's wealth."
This is the motto
of the close community
and when I look at them, I say to myself,
"This is how I want MY world to be!"
