“Home is the loveliest and the most heartwarming phrase there is”

A home is a place that every living thing wants to have whether it’s a human, an animal, a plant, or any living creature on earth they all want a safe, happy place to live in. Home is the only place where people can be themselves, where memories are created. It’s a comfortable zone, a cozy place where love and joy are distributed evenly. Home is not only a place with family members in it. Home is your country, if your country isn't safe your home isn’t safe. To me, a home is a place where everyone is fearless and safe. A home is a basic necessity for living things. Everybody has a different perspective on home. Some people think it’s just a place where you come and relax, but in my perspective, a home is a place everyone needs. I understood the true meaning of home when I started seeing the news. I saw many areas and countries where there is war and other conflicts. I saw that the houses were broken and the kids were crying. I used to dream of a big house with a big playground and living room with my family members. But after some time I learned that “a house is a stable foundation, where your stuff is, and where your heart is”. But now my biggest dream is to make a lot of homes so nobody is homeless. And everybody has shelter and their basic need to survive. When you see the people without homes or shelter you realise what home is. When they scream for help in harsh winters, and hot summers you realize what home is. When their parents cannot provide them with basic needs they realize what home is. Home is a real blessing from God. A home is a special need for a human because that is where that person grows up, plays, learns, falls, cries, and laughs every living thing has a special relationship with its home. People who know the true meaning of home are the children or the adults who are homeless. They know that it’s a blessing from god. And when that blessing is taken away how does it feel? These people are distributed, some live in camps, some live in orphanages, and those who don’t get anywhere live on the streets. These people dream of having a house where they can feel safe because home is the only place where a person feels safe. “Home is the loveliest and the most heartwarming phrase there is”. To me, a home is a sense of peace and joy from loved ones and an environment where everyone knows they are welcome. So, home is not a place, it's a feeling. “A house is made of wood and stone, but only love can complete a home”. A house is always there because the country is safe, if the country’s boundaries are safe your house is safe, so we should always stand by our country. Making sure that nobody goes homeless, and feels unsafe in their own country in their home. I love Canada and I love my home. I have a lot of words and feelings for the phrase home. I am not skilled enough to describe this phrase in one essay. But one day I will make my dream come true and nobody will be homeless.
