The Meaning of Home

My favourite place is my home; It is a place of my very own. I can be who I am, I’ll be loved by my fam. No matter my identity or race, I’ll be given my space. With love and care, Everything is fair. Home is a place of joy, For all girls and boys. I enjoy making jokes With all of my folks. I am very fond Of my special bonds. We need to take people off the streets, And give them a bed with comfy sheets. They deserve better; They need a place to be a go-getter. A plate full of food Will bring a good mood. Let them live, We should give. We can bring a new start With the love in our hearts. I hope my poem brings some awareness, And hopefully some fairness. I will give a helping hand, And then a piece of land. We're here to strive Let's make people really alive. Home, That place of our own. May we give, A place to live. I thank you for reading; Now let's get to exceeding!
