My Meaning of Home
Home is not just the windows and door
Home is not made up of just a floor,
Home is not made of just a family of four,
But, a group of interlaced people and so much more.
Home is a place where judgment is never made
It’s a place where you can always find aid
Acceptance from everyone is a part of this place
When you’re at home, you don’t have to be afraid.
Family and community is the important part of this place
Because all of the school excitement is truly outweighed,
By the warm welcome of my grandparents' embrace,
All the love is shared around this space.
Home is never perfect, it has many ups and downs
It has the remembrance of all the shouted, fighting sounds,
But every day a dinner awaits that brings everyone together
Because the bond shared through a home lasts forever.
My wish for everyone is to have a place to go,
A place where they are helped through their lows,
A place where they can be free and grow
Because there’s no place like home anywhere you go.
