What Home Means

Water splashing over my feet, Hills to climb And Towering trees. This is what home means to me. Hearing bird calls Overhead, Mossy undergrowth, Earthy smell all around. This is what home means to me. Mussels and sea glass littering Every inch of sand Around me, Nearby I hear screaming, Shrieking from my brother, frantically trying to outrun the waves. This is what home means to me. Home is oceans, forests, snow, meadows and hills. Big fields in behind my house, filled with snakes and…deer? This is what home means to me. Habitat for Humanity gives homes to people who don’t have any.
