The Meaning of Home

Home! Home is a place I feel safe. Home is a place I grow. Home is a place where I sleep. Home is a place I eat. Home is a place I feel comfortable. Home is a place I can drink clean water to stop my thirst But my home and family always come first. I sit there waiting for a sign, that I can cross the street so everything will be alright, I go home and plop my bag on the floor from all the school work i get right when i enter those fine doors and sparkling clean nice floors, I go home and sit on the couch then wonder how it would be like to sleep on those uncomfortable grounds. I feel so lucky I have a home filled with my family and lots of dolls With a bunch of rooms and a bunch of halls. As I wander around the hallways hoping everything will be alright,I see the people on the streets and can't imagine myself without a home. I quietly wish I could have my own room, then think of all those who don't even have a roof. I sit there and wonder what it would be like without a home wishing I could help them. I am lucky to have a bed but others just have a ground, to have my choice and freedom of speech when others can't make a sound If I had no home and no where to go. I would be so grateful that someone gave me a home. It may not seem like a lot to you, but to me it seems huge without a home it would be nothing but a roof. I would feel so special someone gave me a home and forever be grateful and never forget. I would be forever grateful. You know what they say “There's no place like Home”! I really mean it, it really did change my life and now I can change many more and they will truly feel special as I did and change their lives with a roof and four walls. I will forever be grateful and maybe they will too. You never know what kind things you do until all the kind things of the world all come back to you.
