The meaning of home is a place where you live, belong, and are sheltered, no matter if it’s significant or not. Home is a place where you are safe. Once you have a place where you live, you have a home. A home where you are safer than anywhere else. A home in which you belong. Even the people who are dead or dying, have a home. The rich and poor all have homes. Even the kids living on the streets, depending on the kindness of others to live, have a home. The homeless people are not really homeless. The alleyways that they live in are their home. The people who are rich live in mansions, so that's their home. Poor people live in small, tattered sheds, which are their homes. No matter how far away from it, you have a home. As for animals, they have homes. The geese who are migrating to the south have a home. The wolves stalking deer through the forest have homes. The roaring lions, digging ants, swimming fish, and slithering snakes all have homes. The refugees who were forced to leave their homes cannot go to their old homes but still will have a new one. If your home was taken from you, you can get a new home. No matter what, you have a home. Homes can be anywhere or anything. They could be in environments ranging from deserts to tundras, mountains to plateaus, jungles to barren wastelands. As long as you live there, as long as you belong, it is your home.
