The Meaning of Home

My home is a place to sleep and play and it keeps me warm at night. My My home has ac to keep my family cold on summer days . My My home keeps my family dry when its dripping with rain. My family and I move houses a lot and the more I move the more memories I make. My home is not always going to be my home. More memories will be made that aren't mine, my brothers' or my mothers' and that's okay. My home is where me and my friends gather and talk as long as the days go by, we talk a lot and that’s what makes a part of my memory. Sometimes me and my friends fight but that also makes a memory. Not all memories are good but they're memories and could be the only ones I have of my friends when I'm older. Also my home is a place to study and join online meetings for school so one day I can provide money for a house. I love my house and never want to move even though I'll have to one day but the memories there will always stay. New people might not know the memories that I had there but I do and that’s all the matters to me. In 20 years from now 20+ more memories will be made and only the people who lived there know the memories. I know this poem is short but the memories in my house are not. I I hope when people move into my old house they treasure the house with memories - good ones, hopefully. The last memory I have is the time all of my friends at the time came to my house and we baked cookies, danced and watched scary stuff on Youtube in the living room. It's the best memory of me and my friends in 2021. The actual  meaning of home to me: My home to me is just walls with a roof and lights. Your house doesn’t have to be pretty It will always be your home till you move. Everybody deserves  home no matter who  lives in its walls or what that person  has done in the past.  A home is just a shelter to keep you warm or cold depending on the weather outside. Sometimes people have to decorate their home to actually make it feel like their home.
