Home

Home Home feels safe I can relax and trust the people around me. It’s a big cozy blanket I wrap myself in after a long day. A warm hug when I'm feeling down. Home feels happy and alive. Home smells like clean laundry. Freshly baked molasses cookies - vanilla, cinnamon, sugar. Home smells like a steaming pot of coffee in the morning. Home looks like books on every possible surface. My brother's race cars on the living room floor. My sister's colourful artwork everywhere. Home looks like hockey sticks and soccer balls waiting in the backyard for me. Home sounds like my little brother eagerly asking me to play hide and seek. Lively conversations over dinner. Reading with my Mom. Home sounds like watching a movie with my family. Home is safe. Home is happy. Home is loving. Everybody deserves a home.
