God Bless This House God bless this house, these rooms, these walls The kitchen stove, the porch, the halls A child’s squeal, a little sigh The doorbell’s chime, a wave goodbye God bless this table we surround With loving words and laughter’s sound The evenings when we congregate Around the fire , beside the gate God bless the books, the games we play The stories told at end of day Adventurous trails on which we’re led The comforter that warms our bed God bless the seedling that has grown A giant oak that shades our home A tree that buds when spring begins And sings a hymn in winter winds God bless the hearth with dancing flames The contents of our picture frames The letters we have tucked away The words that we have left to say God bless the hearts that weep inside Our love, our honor and our pride The way we celebrate our days With little things in special ways God bless the cherished friends we make Each Christmas tree, each birthday cake God bless the path our children choose When they’ve departed from our shoes No matter where their footsteps roam God grant they find their way back home God bless the seasons yet to come Of life and love, the total sum And may my children never cease To find within, their greatest peace God bless their home, their porch, their roof The love, the joy, the faith, the truth Elizabeth Santos |

OHLovelyLizzyLady~ I love the ALL of this ... flows so rhythmically and it's just plain PURTY ! 'No matter where their footsteps roam God grant they find their way back home God bless the seasons yet to come Of life and love, the total sum' Amen ... Amen~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

And what a blessing you've bestowed on us with this outstanding piece! This is just incredible! I love every word, thought and line you've written. Seems I see God's big smile as He receives this prayer. Rae |

Just happens, I know three parties who've just recently moved. Your poem seemed just perfect for a card for each of them, so I've sent it. Thank you, Rae |

What a beautiful prayer. If everyone would ask God to bless his home and possessions what a change there could be in this chaotic world. I hope you stay on these pages. Love, Joyce |

Liz...what beautiful words you've written here. Like Rae, I also know someone who recently moved and would like your permission to make this into a card ( with you being credited as author of course ). Hope all is well with you. Hugs  Ruth I am nothing special...and my name will soon be forgotten,but I've loved another with all my heart and soul,and to me,this has always been enough.~N.S |
