My Meaning of Home

The world closes into one place. A place. Where love can be found. Joy and laughter can be found. Tears are shed and buried into the ground. Fights between one another but all combined Into one. You can move freely and be yourself. Show your true feelings and opinions. You can watch a movie on the couch. Snuggle up in one another's arms. Play, dance, run and share your dreams. Snuggle up and read a book. My mothers cooking can be smelled through the whole house. THe delicious aroma is everywhere. Fills the air with its smell. The texture of every object is different. But the feeling of warmth and hugs are the best. All the colors don't burn my eyes. Instead the colors glisten. As I run and play. During the day you only talking. But when the night settles, the loudest sound is my fathers snoring. Along with the air purifier buzzing along. Altogether it sounds like a symphony. I can see the moon shine through The cracks of the blinds. In the summer daylight still shines and I feel the house warming me up. In the fall the leaves in the backyard fall as we play and jump in them. In spring , the rain makes puddles so I can splash with my rain boots. In winter when the snow falls we build snowmans and drink hot chocolate. Family is the main importance of the home. Without them life is meaningless. A sister that I play with. THrough yes we fight , We always make up in a short time. My mother loves me with all her heart. She takes care of me. Drives me to school. She is like a teacher to me, filling my head with knowledge . My father teaches me mini life lessons. He fixes all our mistakes. When something is broken he is the guy to call. Without all these people home is nothing. But with them home is everything I need. Home is comfort the kitchen table fills my stomach with food. Laughter and happiness fills the empty halls. Every floor is filled with love. Nothing can compare with this . Nothing can be the same. Without this. The world can be a scary place But home is love. I am safe there.
