The Meaning of Home

Home is where you are kept safe from harm and always feel happy. Where you can always be yourself, crazy and way too active, without being judged. Where you can try new things and your family will always support you. Where you can remember that no matter where you are, home will always be right with you, in your heart. Home is where you can smell fresh homemade pizza just coming out of the oven waiting to be finished with some popcorn and a nice family movie. Where you can wake up and be able to go outside and smell the fresh, crisp air. Home is where you see new memories being made. Where you see your family photos taking even more space on the wall as time goes on. Where you see the Canada flag being flown high. Home is where you can hear your siblings playing in the background. Where you can hear the sound of the birds chirping as they pass outside the fields surrounding you. Where you can hear the wind blowing through the beautiful blue sky. Home is where you can always feel the love surrounding you when your family is singing you happy birthday. Where you can feel your cat coming up to you and rubbing themselves against your legs. Where you can feel the warm bed sheets on you as you are going to bed after a long day of making new memories with your family. Home is where you can taste the freshly made french fries sitting at your table, surrounded by your family. Where you can taste the freshly squeezed lemonade on a hot summer day. Where you can taste the watermelon from your garden, that you just spent the last three hours weeding. A home, people always confuse it with a house. A house has four walls and is usually structurally sound, but a home is where memories are made.
