Home is Whereever You Go

What does home mean to me? I don’t know because wherever go we leave. Is home where you sleep? Is home where you eat? Is home where you watch tv? But after time go, I have learned that home is wherever you go. Wherever you feel, wherever you want wherever your loved one will go. What does home mean to me? What does home mean to me? What does home mean to me? Well home is a place with memories, where friends helped you move in, supported you, and welcomed you in. A home doesn't have to look perfect, a home doesn't have to be big, a home doesn't have to be painted with golds and gems A home can be flat, a home can be tall a home can be small, but the most important thing is that your home has a big heart. Homes can be messy, especially when you have kids around, but thinking about them they are also memories that will never be forgotten as time goes by. When you broke a window and then fixed it together, when you painted walls with crayons then together washed it, when you tried to bake a cake but just made a mess all around, and together cleaned up and then ate cake and laughed after time, but they also left a little mark both in real also as memories. Then, when you are grown up and stand tall, you can think back laugh and cry with your loved ones and all, think how many mistakes you made and how much you learned. Now I know what a home means to me and you know too. It’s a place with love and support, kindness and grace and where memories are made, and a home doesn’t have to be a specific place because a home Is where you go, and will go around the world to find where you truly love and want to go, the most important thing is that it is where you are loved and love so it feels like the place you truly want to go. Everyone deserves a home to be welcomed, feel safe, where they can make memories, and feel like they truly belong in that place. Thanks to Habitat For Humanity that is now possible, now everyone can make mistakes and learn in their home, learn like I did that home can be wherever you go.
