The True Meaning of Home

Home is my favorite place It is the only place that I feel safe Full of love and cheer Siblings smiles go ear to ear My father baking his oh so exquisite desserts, it was absurd how we fought over those masterpieces once we heard The amazing aroma of homemade cookies fills the air Bringing joy and cheer throughout home, the place that’s filled with care The sight of my family makes me feel safe knowing that at home, people care at home, you are important to all, and if you know that home is there As siblings bicker I know, this is home And as they make up, they know, this is our thrones Home is not just 4 walls and a roof, We are protected by our love for each other, safe to goof Doing what we want, when we want Safe from judgment as we release our feelings in a rant Home is where you can listen to as many bad dad jokes as you wish And as you sleep, you’re protected by a kiss Parents to protect you and hug you when you fall Home and parents make me stand tall As I feel the warm embrace of my parents, I know that this is home The place that I am free to roam Free of all the problems in the world A safe place that I have truly earned As I feel the warmth of my bedsheets I know, this is home The place where I’ve safely grown To you it might just look like an unimportant house, but its my whole world thank you Habitat for Humanity, for creating worlds, which some people really earned
