These Are My JOTtings...

The Quest for Home, Chapter #4

So, Dad and Quest find sheltered joy
among the firs of Peaceful Vale.
In challenge times it's hope's employ
that stands against the greatest gale.

Some limbs and leaves and needled straw
can make a bed in newest home.
To live in safety with his Paw
is Quest's next chapter for his tome.

When Home is where you hang your hat
and daily nook has settled bliss,
The deepest sleep on smallest mat
is warmest hug and sweetest kiss.

The attitude within the heart,
when focused on The Greatest Soul
Brings loving joy to ev'ry start,
makes ev'ry life so daily whole.
