What Home Should Be
What home should be
By: Joy
Meaning of my home,
magical place of comfort,
perfect place of love.
Safety’s here for me,
letting me be who I am,
not ever judging.
Safety all around,
saving me from the fierce storm,
raging through my life.
Comfort everywhere,
comfort enveloping me,
made by family.
Shining through my life,
helps family through hard times,
makes people happy.
Family is here,
welcoming with open arms,
bad days turning bright.
Sister’s happiness,
brother’s small bubbling laugh,
parents' dancing eyes.
Angry fights will come,
kicking, punching, shouting names,
things we do not mean.
We always make up,
saying an apology,
we’re still together.
Staring at the sky,
clouds floating through the blue sea,
friends and family.
Love bursts through my heart,
fills up everyone near me,
smiles are everywhere.
Home is not a house,
it is a feeling of love,
fills empty structure.
