What a Home Is
This is a poem I wrote to say
everyone should have a place to stay.
Your home is a place where you feel like a king
a place to keep everything you care about.
A home can be new or old
It keeps you safe from the cold.
A home can be big or small
or an apartment by the mall.
A home can be almost anywhere
Even by a volcano puffing smoke.
It can be in the country or town
near a shop or playground.
Home is a safe place to be
where you have fun with your family.
Home has people and pets and things you love.
At home I like warm hugs.
At home we joke and laugh without a care
while reading in a comfy chair.
When I get home after a long day
It’s a very nice and comfortable place to stay.
Once in bed I lay down my head.
I look and see books and toys and glow-in-the-dark stars.
I’m happy I have a place to live.
A home would be a great gift to give.
