What does home mean to me?

What's home? Many people say that it’s a place for shelter or another way of saying house. I would say it's more than a house. My definition of home is a place we call home and where we feel safe and loved. If you don’t feel loved, cared for or anything safe at your house then that might not be your home and just shelter. Everyone has a home that feels safe. For example, birds live in the nest, foxes live in their den, and humans live in homes. This means that all of us have a place we all call home. My home has my mom, grandma, grandpa, and crazy cat. They are all very important to me. They love me and care about me. They might be annoying sometimes but they are always helping me out. I love my family and my home. Trust is important, it is another factor in the family. I always trust my family so we have trust and love together. It doesn’t matter what happened outside in the world. Once you arrive home you don’t need to worry. Once again everyone has loved ones and a home that’s just right for them. Humans all need a home. It's not fair how some of us don’t have the strongest homes or not even live in a house or home! I believe we all need to have a home that’s safe and strong. Everyone deserves to have a home and someone who cares about them. Thank you for understanding what home means.
