Homeland 

Children
taking care
the fact of matter
A homeland trait
Comforting, undeniably
--Loving--
Undeniably
Comforting trait
Homeland
A matter of fact
The care-taking children



Today's challenge was to write a Palindrome, a poem in which the second half mirrors the first half. A little tricky, but fun.
