What Home Means to Me
I remember a day
It was snowy and cold,
We had just moved away,
I was only 8 years old.
But even though I was young
I still missed my home.
I still missed the games and the songs that we sung
Later that night I uncovered a box,
It was filled to the top with all of our clocks
Under my collection of rocks,
There was a book,
I couldn't tell you how old it looked
First I put away bowls and cups
Then I sat down to open it up.
The cover was stained,
Probably from when it rained,
But even though it was rough,
What memories it contained!
I remember it now, all from where it begun
I remember it now, all of the fun!
All of the times my brothers claimed #1,
All of the movies and games,
Everything that we’ve done!
But now it was done,
I was in a new town and all I could do was sot there and frown.
But now I am older and writing this poem
And right now I know that a house is nothing like home.
