My safe place

A house is brick, stone , and wood. Tile floors, windows and doors. No memories over here, no memories over there. A house is just a structure with nothing to share. A home is safe, special and can be moved. It includes all your friends and family they’re special too. It’s filled with love, compassion and care. Finding something like that is so rare. Home is a safe haven, and a comfort zone. Home is where I never feel alone. Home is my favorite place to eat ice cream in a cone. Home is where my parents say stay off your phone and even though your one of my own. When I come home and I smell the room, it smells like home and my favorite food. We make memories from time to time and my family will always be mine. Home is a place where we make memories and I look in the mirror and I see my destiny. Home is a gathering place for families to join together in laughter, and create memories forever after. There is no place like home, it made my heart full grown!!! I might change where I live throughout the years, but all my memories will still be here. When I come home I smell the air. It smells like home and the perfume I wear. It doesn't matter about the address or city you live in. It is just that you are happy and have a place where you feel safe in. And that's what home means to me.
