Home to Me

Home is where my heart must stay, Home is where we sleep and play. I smell my mom baking cookies, So I go take a lookie. As I walk to my room, I hear my hamster munching on a treat, So I go to her cage and I take a seat. As I sit I think of dying, Then I think of my soul flying. Up away from my home, my place, Up away, high above space. But when I think that I know I have more than a day, On this Earth is where my heart will stay. As I think my brother Harlan walks in, He says the cookies will be ready in a min. As we walk downstairs I hear mom call cookies are ready, When we get to the oven Harlan says that one's shaped like a teddy, As I eat I taste chocolate chips, It melts as it gently hits my lips. Knock knock dad is here, Now my home is full of cheer. Home to you may be a roof and walls, But home to me it’s where my heart calls.
