We pay homage to home; it is our temple to the holiness of life and to the good things of the earth, our place of thanksgiving.

Despite all the places where we have lived and explored,
despite all the moments when we have conquered and achieved,
it is still Home that calls to our child.
And though the walls be torn down and our parents no longer be akin
to our choices, and brothers and sisters no longer be of like mind,
we are still grateful to the refuge of Home.
Home—where our child first experienced place, 
where we were secured by the love from another to another to another,
where we were nourished by those who cared for us.
