An Invitation
from the Jerome Place Bed & Breakfast
"Come as a guest, leave as a friend."
Peace be unto thee, stranger, enter and be not afraid
We have left the gate open and thou art welcome to our home
There is room in this house for all
We have swept the hearth and lighted the fire of love
The room is warm and cheerful

The table is laid and the fruits of Life are spread before thee.
The wine is here also, it sparkles in the light.
