What Home Means to Me

What home means to me A place to find out things you may not know Turn the key in the door Hear the creaks in the floor A backyard where the sun beats down Soft green grass, on the ground Memories stacked within these walls The ghosts of past roams the halls A place to slide into bed A roof over your head Some people don’t live this life They must sleep outside even on the coldest nights Imagine if you lost all this And lived in an icy bliss I too would feel very sad So, I’m grateful for the home I have This is what home means to me The cool breeze of the sea No matter where you are Look up at the stars And think “what does home mean to me?” And how lucky you are To have a place to be.
