The Feeling of Home

Your home doesn't need to be a building It doesn't even need to be where your living Home is where you see love Memories and joy Not where you play with a toy Home can be School or a sport It's where you get the most support Some people can't have a house They might sometimes feel as small as a mouse People who don't have a house might still be at home Sometimes You might Have a house but still feel alone Home is not a place it's a feeling It's not just Four walls and a ceiling Home feels like butterfly in your tummy It Feels as if you have just eaten something that's very yummy You are not at home if you feel scared or hurt That's not okay and you should feel you've just had dessert Habitat for humanity has given me a chance To create a poem for you without a second glance They have helped me describe a feeling not everyone gets It feels as though you've been freed by your nets I hope by writing this poem I have given you the feeling of home I also hope that this poem has give you a little freedom from your dome
