A Home To Me
(Take note of what the capitals spell)
a home withouT
a buncH of useless objects
thAt meaN everything to you and your family
is just a house
a home without
cracKing up around the dinner table
as someone describes their hilarious daY
is just a house
a home without
memories of cuddling on the couch
cozy and comfortable watching jeOpardy
is just a house
a home without
fights with your brother but
five minutes later playing video games
is just a hoUse
a home without
big family celebrations, everyone rushing to get
the biggest piece of turkey or the most masHed potatoes
is just a house
a home without
hot chocolAte getting cold around the fire
someone telling stories scary or silly
is just a house
a home without
a cat ruBbing against your legs
as soon as you step In the door
is just a house
a home wiThout
boArd games where you think someone is going
to win, but it ends up being you
is jusT a house
a home without
movie nights and popcorn, everyone crying
because your Family is way too emotional
is just a hOuse
Any house can be a home, big or small
in any neighbouRhood, rich or poor
as long as it has HUMANITY and
love.
