Why Home?

Why Home? What is a home to you? I know what a home is to me The meaning of home is different for every person in every way Home is a place of peace It is a safe space to express your feelings The question we all ask ourselves Why home? Why is home the place you always wanna be? Home is filled with the people you hold close to your heart When you are at home you feel happy and full of joy Home is full of memories and the people of the past Those you lost and will always remember will be with you at home Home is where they will want you to be because… Home isn’t just a word, it is a word with great power When I step into my home, I smell roast chicken in the oven or Freshly baked muffins waiting to be eaten Mom and Dad running to give you a hug and ask you... “How was school?” Stepping outside…! Jumping on the trampoline with my brother Doing flips and trying to double bounce each other Jumping so high I feel like I am flying! Sitting at the table with my family eating the delicious Apple crumble that my mom always makes And most of all seeing my family laugh all together as joy fills the room Why home? This is why A house is a house until the home moves in… We are all the home every house needs
