WELCOME
TO OUR HOME
Welcome all who enter here, we're glad that you have come
Your presence fills our home with warmth, like early morning sun
For homes are simply waiting rooms, until a friend arrives
A friend we've learned to treasure, like the word itself implies
If your visit brings glad tidings, we'll break out some Pink Champagne
Any help we'll gladly give you, as we know you'd do the same
If troubles have beset you and you know not where to turn
Make our home your quiet harbor, for your woes are our concern
We welcome you in times of joy, we welcome you in sorrow
God says to help each other, don't defer it till tomorrow
So sit right down, kick off your shoes and make yourself at home
For you're the very reason that we've hung this little poem
Perhaps you are a stranger, that could make things better yet
For a stranger is a friend that we have simply not yet met
It matters not your race or creed or color of your skin
We won't question where you're going, or where you might have been
The only thing that matters is the time we share today
And the memories of friendship, as we send you on your way
We hope that you will take the time to see us now and then
And know our thoughts are with you . . . until we meet again
