The Meaning Of Home To Me

Home is a place everyone needs and deserves. A place that you can seek your favourite things, along with your favourite people. A home is a place to stay in all your rough, tough, and most importantly, your joyful times. A place to practice and play your favourite games, things, activities, and all your other hobbies and skills, all for your enjoyment. However, a house is a different story. Just a plain old building covered in stone or bricks, plainly built by people you don't even know, and these people don't even understand the memories that are going to be made in this building, that's a house. A home, however, is a place everyone should have. It’s so many things all together, it’s a place for comfort, warmth, love, and many other things. So let’s quickly talk about that old stain on the floor. That stain right there, you could ask one hundred random people and tell them the backstory of that moment, and you would hope all of them would relate, right? The saddest part of it, is that sadly not all of them will be able to relate because some of those people may not have this type of love and shelter that they deserve. One of the things I love about home the most is that no matter what happens, you've had a long day, a great day, a bad day, a long vacation away from home, at the end of the day, your home will be there for you to seek your shelter and go back to your comfort zone from start to finish. On this note, let’s all come together as one. By writing a poem like this one, you can help give towards the people that don't have a place to call home and a place to stay. For the sake of many people, write a poem To advance here right now, in the present, and in the future.
