Home
Home is where I sleep on my cozy mattress, home is where I wake up to the sun peeking through my curtains,
It is where I sink into a couch to read my favorite book.
Home is where I squeeze my dog after watching a scary movie,
Home is where I play monopoly with my siblings before I go to bed.
Home is where I feel safe in a loud thunder storm,
it is where I laugh, it is where I cry.
Home is where I make memories with my friends,
It is where I throw surprise parties for my mom’s birthdays.
Home is where I race cars with my brother and dress up in gowns with my sister.
Home is where I toboggan down snowy hills in my backyard,
It is where I drink minty hot cocoa after skating at our local arena.
Home is a feeling of a community within your neighborhood,
It is walking your dog to the park at the end of your street. Home is where you step out onto the balcony to breathe in the cold brisk Toronto air.
Our home might be small but it is big in our hearts
Home.
