My Home

When I walk in the door I see so much more than just a house. I see a home filled with love I see my fluffy dog Who always gives love But likes to bite gloves Playing games with friends Or watching family movies My home is always the safest place to stay When I am home alone My house helps me not feel alone My house is not perfect and either am I but we both try My home is safest place I know My fireplace keeps me warm And my couch is so big it fits my whole family When we go on the couch we snug up in blankets We always watch movies and even play board games My house was a house but when we moved in my house became a home and it didn’t feel alone I am grateful I have a home because I am always warm I feel bad for the homeless because they are alone But if we made them a home they would’t be alone They are also probably cold But it's okay because we are making these poems to make a new home In my home we try new things If we mess up or do it right It doesn’t matter because it’s all for fun And when I go to bed I walk up my stairs to where I have prayers I go in my room and I am fast asleep soon Knowing that my home is the best place I know
