It takes a heap o' children ...

It takes a heap o' children to make a home that's true,And home can be a palace grand, or just a plain, old shoe;But if it has a mother dear, and a good old dad or two,Why, that's the sort of good old home for good old me and you.

Quotes from the same author

Nothing but blackness above And nothing that moves but the cars... God, if you wish for our love, Fling us a handful of stars!
 Louis Untermeyer
Friendship is like love at its best; not blind but sympathetically all-seeing; a support which does not wait for understanding; an act of faith which does not need, but always has, reason.
 Louis Untermeyer
