Meaning of Home

Home means love, warmth, and family. My room is my safe spot with my led lights and cozy bed with really pretty blankets and pillows. When my dog lays her head on my lap I can feel as if she wants to cuddle with me. As I walk up the stairs and smell the warm toast being made. When I go to look out the window and see the breeze swooshing the trees and the bushes. Everyone is saying good morning to me as I eat my toast. The warm fireplace keeps me warm when I'm cold. When Mom is driving me to school and we have our little chats as we drive past Pizza 73 smelling the delicious pizza being made when we get Tim Hortons and the warm hot chocolate is warming my hand. As I walk into the living room when I first get home from school and my sisters both hug me hearing the laughter as they run towards me. When I go for a walk with my mom, we go to the park. As I throw a rock into the lake and see the water slowly rising and letting go of it little drops of water. When I hear the birds chirping I feel at home, when I go ice skating I feel as if I'm at home. The train swooshes my hair to the side as it zooms past me seeing friends waiting to. The road crowds up with cars. I feel like this is home. My back yard with the dogs running in the snow and coming back inside with snow all over their faces. When I walk into the kitchen and help my mom with dinner. I feel safe. That is what home means to me.
