A home is neither big nor small but always right, Yet it makes me feel happy with delight Home is where I’m sheltered, It always makes me feel welcomed when entered Home is where I know I’m free, I never feel that I have to flee Home is like a warm blanket wrapping me up in a hug, Making me want a steaming cup of tea in a mug Home is not like chess where you think before you go, But more like a safe space you knew from a long time ago It’s not a place where I have to lock my emotions, More like a place to have safe discussions Home is like my favourite song, It makes me want to sing along No matter when I come home, I have happy faces welcoming me even when I feel alone A house has a structure, But a home has a culture Houses have amenities, Homes have cheerful possibilities Home is the warmth of a hug, It’s always cozy and snug When I’m at home, I feel as free as a willow tree Home is the smell of burning candles It's like warm sand snug in my sandals It's always there for you even when it's tough, Family supports you even when it's rough
