What is home?

What is a home? Home tastes like fresh baked carrot muffins out of the oven Home smells like flowers on your hardwood table Home feels like the comfort of a teddy bear on your lap with blankets surrounding you on your lazy boy couch Home looks like family welcoming you from a long day Home sounds like cartoons rushing through your mind Homelessness tastes like rotten food from a rusty dumpster Homelessness smells like mold in a dark corner of an alley Homelessness feels like hard cement ground against your aching back Homelessness looks like no one there to love you or tell you you're beautiful Homelessness sounds like rats scurrying across the floor
