What is a Home?

A home is where you'd like to call home. Your home does not belong to garden gnomes. It only belongs to you, where you sit on the throne. A home does not belong to anyone, except for you and your family. A house gives you hospitality, but a home gives you the feeling of reality and not a feeling of virtuality. A house has a floor, walls, and a roof, but it isn't fireproof. But home is fireproof and bulletproof too, because you put your love in it, along with your entire group, and love cannot be burned or damaged even by the hottest of fires or the sharpest of bullets. A home is a place for fun, not a place for war. You can play board games, like connect four. We all laugh and smile, and we sorrow no more. I hope you have a home, but if you don't, you'll get one soon. It'll be strong and can survive a typhoon. In the afternoon, the sun is at its highest, which means your heart will be as well. It can be hard to live without a home. Really hard. but you won't have that problem anymore. The bards are happy, and they play joyful songs. Your heart expands as big as 100 yards, for you will finally have a home.
