Home To Me

My home is more than just a house, my home is my happy place that welcomes me every day. Where dreams and memories are made. The delicious roast dinner or my Dad's BBQ steak. The coconut curry soup or the devil's food cake. Home is watching a movie or reading a book. Doing a puzzle or playing a board game with my family. Home is a warm and cosy place. Home is where I am safe and sound. My warm and thick blankets cover me all around. The TV on watching the game. My mom's warm hugs shelter me from the rain. My dad's faint snoring makes me feel at home. The radio always on makes me never feel alone. The alarm to wake me up in the morning to get ready for school with my mother there for supporting. The water in the shower pouring down like rain, the smell of the detergent. The sound of the neighbour's dog barking and the light shining bright from my room as I am reading and the feel of the blanket on top of my toes. Home is special to me and I am grateful to have it. My family's heart makes it keep beating bringing life inside. Home is more than walls, roof, windows, and panelling. My home has a brain, heart, and lungs. My home is special and unique to me. My home is where I can spend time with family and friends. There is no place like home.
