Where Hopes And Dreams Come True

Ralph Waldo Emerson said ‘‘A house is made of bricks and beams. A home is made of hopes and dreams.’’ I totally agree with this. A home is a place that I can look forward to after a big day at school. When I feel sad this home will take care of me and make me feel worthy while wrapping its arms around me. A home is where I am happy even though my sister and I fight it is part of making these walls a home not a house. The day my parents gave me the house key it felt like THIS is where I belong. Having the house key is the home giving you a piece of its soul because it trusts you. Home is also the place where you can love, be loved, protect yourself from the cold and storms, where you shall sleep, feel safe and where life is good. Home is where we are NOT scared to ask questions, where I fall down and get up. It is a place where we laugh, cry and make mistakes then learn from these mistakes. A place where we eat together and where we have fun. There is nothing more important than a good, safe, secure home where all your hopes and dreams can come true.
