The images on the card drew me to it: Colorful, abundant, weathered, well used ~ cared for!

Our home built with trust, secured with our hearts
Is in everyway
An estate of dimension
Beyond human reach
Its walls formed of faith, each room holds firm hope
With sealing roof a canopy, Divine in design

While you and I live here, we listen and learn
Our passions distilling, no favors to earn
You give to me what I could never repay
Times and touch of affection I truly adore
Their caressing fires will not sear
Rather gently rekindle warming embers ever near.
I Love You ???? ~~
