It's Not Just Home

Home isn’t just a roof and walls -it’s a shelter Home is a safe space when life gets rough Home is a place you could call a work in progress Home is long stories of ancestors Home is a subway station with a Honda and VW ID4 Home is being loved enough that eventually you can let go Home is the dimples in your parents face when your home Home is the projects that never get finished Home is the questions that get wacky answers Home is your parents keeping you safe from the storm Home is slurping hot chocolate on snow days Home is Saturday morning pancakes (Sometimes with whipped cream) Home is a place you can cry with no shame Home is embarrassing baby pictures that shood be kept private Home is the five more minutes before bedtime Home is the big squeeze when you reunite Home is as sweet as chocolate chip cookies Home is the place you collapse after a hard day Home is the ceiling you hit your head on Home is a place you are always welcome Home is the hum of the dishwasher after desert Home is the sound of jeopardy on the tv Home is beach combing on the shores of Youghal Home is Sunday dinner in the living room It’s not just home
