A Place Called Home
Home is…
A place for family dinners,
A place where everyone is a winner.
A place to hang out with friends,
A place where love never ends.
A place to set up the holiday tree,
A place where everyone includes me.
A place where you can cry and cry,
A place where no one forces you to tell why.
A place where no one judges,
A place for people to be forgiving of your scratches and smudges.
A place where we all mentor each other,
A place where it doesn’t matter if you are sister or brother.
A place that’s inviting,
A place where I can do my reading and writing.
A place that is loving and free,
A place where I can just be me.
A place where everyone cares,
A place where everyone is fair.
A place where there are no hard feelings,
A place to talk about your dealings.
A place to share your good and bad deeds,
A place that fills everyone’s needs.
A place where you can talk about your day,
A place where you can laugh, smile, and play.
A place neither too big nor small,
A place that can feel inclusive of us all.
A place to treat each other like royalty,
A place where there’s no doubting loyalty.
A place that’s not just a house, or a building,
But a place that is my home.
