Growing With My Home

In my home I grow, never going with the flow. I see Bunny’s in the yard, like a cute welcome card. The sudden crackling of the fire, In that little place, I admire. Smelling my mom’s coffee, and the sweet taste of toffee. I can hear piano keys, and the buzzing of fleas. Fresh flowers in the house, and the squeaking of a mouse. I AM GROWING WITH MY HOME Smelling pages of a book, when I snuggle in my reading nook. When I hear my parents’ voice, I stand up and rejoice. Always safe when my nose is in a book, relaxed in my bed or, nook. Brothers laughing, While in water, splashing. Playing board games with my family, is really quite dandy. The sweet taste of a German bun, It’s oh so much fun! I AM GROWING WITH MY HOME Oh yes Oma's treats, It’s like you could eat and eat. Sometimes I think of past pets, It makes you want to hug their blankets. There are different religions, But I've made my decisions. Christmas! We decorate the Christmas tree, I can't help but shout with glee. When I taste the delicious homecooked pasta, I laugh when my brother shouts “I can’t eat any fasta.” I AM GROWING WITH MY HOME Even though I love family movie night, It sometimes ends in a slight fight. I AM GROWING WITH MY HOME Everyone deserves a home, and should never be alone. So, thank you Meaning of Home. Your purpose is important to many people who need a home and a place to be loved!
