House Blessing

O little house, so kind, so small,

My mother s picture on the wall;

My brother s cupboard, standing there,

My father s table, smooth and square.

My sister s plates are on the shelf,

My aunt s old rocker for myself,

And on the sideboard, plain to see

The plant my friends have given me.

My house is made of many things

The ones I love have given,

And so, my life contains within

A kingdom of their heaven.

God bless this house they all have made-

Under its roof I lay my head,

And pray that all my friends shall be

Happy, rich and blest as me.
