Home Sweet Home

Home sweet home The place where I truly belong It might look like 4 walls and roof with a door But it's so much more So, what is home? And what makes it so sweet Not a flower, but the scent of a flower Not a bed, but the comfort of a bed Not the sky, but as free as the sky Not a candy, but as sweet as a candy Not a hug, but as warm as a hug Home isn't about where you are, It's about where you can go When you feel upset or angry It's about where you can go When you are feeling lonely When I'm at home I feel free Free of all my worries Free of all my stressors Free of all my expectations Simply free When i'm at home I'm with family I spend time with my sister Going on adventures Everywhere from the moon To a princesses castle, In a faraway kingdom We let our imaginations run wild I spend time with my mother We make a little cake Using eggs,flour butter and sugar It might not taste the best But to me it's the most delicious food I could have ever tasted I spend time with my father We spend time together looking at cool gadgets These times are make makes my house, Home But, Some people are not as lucky as you and me They don't have a home to go to, Or a family They don't have food Or a warm place to go So the next time you see someone shivering on the sidewalk Give them a dollar, or two It's enough to make their day And yours too Nothing is as wonderful As making someone smile And that's what makes home sweet.
