Home is More Than a Shelter

Home is more than a shelter, Maybe it means something better… Home is a place where love and courage grow and where you get supported, For keeping us there we should award it, It shoots rays of sunshine, happiness, togetherness It gave us all it’s trust in us, Home gives us comfort, laughter and joy, Even when we're under the weather it gives us rejoice, It's like a cozy fireplace that gives us attention and respect, It keeps our cultures so we can’t neglect, The bricks keep every memory, the mortar is our family keeping it together, And it will keep our love and memories in it forever, When you open the door it swings your heart open, And it keeps it from pain and feeling broken, It makes creativity expand and rise to enjoy, Now that’s something that we can’t destroy, It cheers you on when you grow and mature, And supporting you, that I can reassure, It’s made of lot of peace and fun, It transfers all it’s confidence in us to be number-one, Every second you spent there you gain determination, And that will last in every generation, It is so spectacular and crazy, And that's the true meaning of sibling rivalry, It's like the shining of the moon, It shines its wisdom and strength upon you. Every house is different but it all has something in common, It gives us love and that’s what will never be forgotten.
