The best place to be

My home may not be a marvelous sight But oh how it fits our family just right My mother, my father, my brother too Oh wonderful things together we do My home does much more than store all the gear It holds all the memories made each year My home is a place where I can rock climb No matter the weather, no matter the time My home even has a wonderful tree To climb and to swing and to feel so free My home may not be the biggest or best But it’s a warm and cozy place to rest A place to think about all that I’ve learned And reflect on all the pages I’ve turned My home is a place to get lost in a tale A place to let your imagination set sail My home holds the books to take me away To mythical places I dream of all day My home is a place, a place of such wonder To learn of ancient places and plunder My home may not be the best on the block But welcomed you are with drawings in chalk A wonderful place, creative and free With parents that let us be who we be My home is a place to draw and to paint A place to get messy without complaint My home is a place to build a small nook My own special place to read a good book My home is a place to cook and to bake A place to whip up some cookies or cake My home is the very best place to be And everyone deserves a home like me!
