The Meaning of Home

Now this is the story all about how my life flipped, turned upside down.I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there, to tell you all how I found a home- this kid with colored hair. Calgary born and raised, learning how to ride my bike is where I spent most of my days. Chilling out to the max, relaxing all cool just getting ready for my first day of school, when a couple of guys who were up to no good started raising rent prices in the neighborhood. We got in one financial problem and my mom got scared, she said we're moving to a town 20 minutes from here. I pulled up to the house about 5:49, yelled to the u-haul “Yo homes, smell ya later.” I looked at my kingdom, I was finally there to sit on my throne- ok, well maybe a chair. To finish this off, no matter the lair- wherever my family is, my home is right there.
