Thumbnails The Meaning of Home By:Ariana Wilson You know it’s true what they say “home is where the heart is”.It's not just a place but it is the feeling of being seen and held and knowing it will be OK. It’s the feeling of being safe and letting the heat warm your toes and fingers,it’s the feeling of baking brownies in the warm kitchen that always seems to be smiling,letting all your anxious thoughts just melt away as laughter lingers in the air. When I swing peacefully on my swing in the humid air as raindrops lightly fall. Home is the awesome fun of challenging and playing with my brother in the backyard. The feeling of spring of freshly cut grass and open windows. Home is when me and my family grab popcorn and watch a classic movie. Home is the days I curl up in my favourite blanket and read a book. When I can go in my room and pray. When I come home from a long day at school and be very loud and fun with my family. When the music plays as yummy home cooked dinner smells fill the air. Where we sit together at our table and fill our bellies with a delicious meal. So you see home isn't just a place it’s the people. My home makes me feel safe, loved and seen. My home really has a heart built up and made from the loving people who care so much for me.
