The True Definition of Home to Me

Home is something more to me, It is more than a structure just to see. It is more than a roof and some walls, It is the memories of pictures that hang on the halls. Home is where I can dive into a pool of love, And leave all my other emotions above. Whenever I am at home, I feel embraced, And I can use my imagination to freely create. Home is the attractive smell of my mom’s cooking, It is a den where everyone is reassuring. I feel most safe and comfort at home, And home is a feeling that I own. Home is the stories that my dad shares, Warm and cozy in a bedroom upstairs. Whenever I am at home, I feel embraced, And I can use my imagination to freely create Home is the laughter of my brother, In my view his laugh is a bright, vibrant colour. The colour of orange, red, and gold, His laugh keeps us warm away from the cold. No one can take me and home apart, No matter if I am a step or a mile from home, Home will always be in my heart.
