My poem about home!

The sweet smell of chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven The melting chocolate pouring out of mom’s warm cookies The paint splashed across the canvases in my bedroom decorating my blue walls My cats meowing at the front door The pencil scratching on paper, drawing sketches This is home Anime people looking back at me from my drawings The click of my computer mouse, making blocks on minecraft The smell of rain on almost every Canada day My needle, glinting on my cross stitch This is home My well loved stuffed animals lined up in a row My favorite books lined up by my bed The blue of my walls, and teal of my bed The white of my dressers bringing out the light gray hardwood floor This is home My fuzzy carpet on the floor The colorful lego on the shelves, Also scattered across the floor My winning custom lego build, sitting on my shelf That I made for the lego contest, all by myself This is home The strum of dad’s bass guitar, The click clack of mom’s fingers on the keyboard The knock on the door on Sunday nights Signaling Grammy is here for dinner This is home I have these things unlike others, who live in the streets, I am blessed and live in peace The people in the world who need food, love and care, There are people like this who need helping everywhere.
