What’s home to me

It is where you can cuddle up and watch movies. its where you can have warm showers and feel safe when your cozy in bed. Its where you can tell anyone anything. This is home to me. Hear. Its where you can hear the sound of laughter during fun game nights. Its where you can hear the sound of hot food being cooked on a pan. Its where you can hear the sound of rain on the windows on cozy rainy days. Feel. Its where you feel being hugged when your sad. Its where you feel the warm water against you in a hot tub when you go on a vacation. Its where you feel your feet in the sand on summer beach days. Its where you fee the cozy blankets on you when you sleep. Its when you feel the fabric against you when you wear clothes for school. Taste. Its where you taste delicious foods and meals that your parents make for you every evening. Its where you taste popcorn when you go to a movie theatre with your family. Its where you can taste yummy food from a restaurant on family dinner nights. Its where you taste yummy popsicles in the summer or yummy hot chocolate in winter. See. Its where you see you and your family growing up and getting older. Moving out . graduating. Its where you see memories being made and funny game nights. Its where you see pools and lakes when you go on vacation. Its where you see you and friends staying up late on summer nights eating candy and making smores at your cabin. Its where you see winter coming and making snowmen with family. Touch. Its where you touch your parents clothing when you hug them. Its where you touch the snow in winter and make snow angels. Its where you touch your warm cup of hot cocoa in winter. Its where you touch cold water on your slip n slide in the summer against your face. Its where you touch your warm pjs when your cozy in bed on rainy spring nights. Its where you touch your body after being in a warm bath on cozy fall nights. Its where you touch the grass with your feet when your running in your yard on a hot summer day. Now home isn’t just memories it’s a place where you can feel safe. Free. And many feelings. It’s a place where you cry. Laugh. And yell. But if my home wasn’t my home I wouldn’t be safe. I wouldn’t be happy. I wouldn’t be many feelings. And home is a place that everyone should get and that’s home to me!
