What is home to you?

Home. What is home? Home for me is a place where I can be safe and have fun A place where I can tell my siblings that i’m done To cook and bake with my mother And to annoy my brother To craft and laugh To safely do my own things My mother and father help me with things And I help my siblings My father builds the fire in the fireplace So our home is not cold And I praise my big brother because he's bold My siblings make me happy Even if they make me snappy My family raises me when i'm down They help me through everything I remember sleeping in the backyard In a tent with my friends and having a hard time getting in the tent last summer my family and I roasted marshmallows on the deck Then staying up till 1:00 i was such a wreck I have a lot of good memories of my home I wish everyone could have a home like mine Where they can be fine and shine So the people aren’t cold or hot They are just the right temperature so they aren’t in a spot A home is not a house it's not even a place it’s where the people and the things you love are. So I want to ask you what is home to you? Cause to me my home is awesome so I hope yours is too
