The Meaning of Home

Home is much more than a few walls and a few floors it's much more. It's a place where smiles are made. It's a place where sometimes frowns are framed. But mostly it's where memories are made. It's where you can understand yourself. It's where you can play till the clock ticks down. It's where love never fades. It's where you can be yourself. It's where you can feel happy but also squished around. It's a safe place where the storm will carry on. You can love your life but also love the love. Where you trust yourself, where the trust will never fade. You can think it's cruel but it's really not that. It's an amazing place, can you believe that? Your home is special, you can believe that. Thank you for making homes for the homeless. I'm hoping that I can make a life come true with my poem.
