A Home is a Family

A house has four walls A roof and a door A desk and some windows A bed and a floor A place to return to From all that you face But however lovely It’s only a place A home, however Does not need a door Not a desk or windows A bed or a floor A home goes beyond all these physical things Home is the place that family brings Home is in laughter from family and friends Home is the love that we share, never ends Home is together, and it will stay bright Through hot days in summer or cold winter nights With a cup of hot chocolate And a friend on each side This is home, it is love Not a place to reside I hope that someday You will have a home But know while you’re waiting Wherever you roam Wherever you are And whatever you face A home is a family No matter the place
