The laughter that echoes

The place with the four walls

Which we call home with love

It sees us growing up

With hopes and fears

To see us leave someday

And make a flight for our dreams

Only to return with a baggage 

And in need of peace

The place with the four walls

Holds memories and emotions

It gives us more than anyone

Never demands or complaints

Only to adapt with the change

That comes along the way

The place with the four walls

Holds things which are priceless

Like toys and books

And dresses and frames

All the remnants of the past

But most of all it holds

The joy and the warmth

The celebrations of homecomings

The songs and musings

And the laughter that echoes…
