Home Is Where Your Heart Is

Home is a place where you learn and play, You rest and you work, day after day. Home is somewhere that makes you feel whole, Where you share your hopes, your dreams, your goals. Behold such a place, so good and pure, It’s a haven, far and near. For such a scene, unfolds something special, So that love and gratitude in the heart, were level. Oh, such a space! So warm and fine, Even if it may not be worth a dime. Because nothing can compare, Hate and vengeance, beware. Home is not just a structure, that is true, It is where when you are sad, renewed. Exhausted in the morning, full of doubt? Don’t worry, for love and courage, there is no drought. Where a smile lights up your face, You will run to it with an embrace. Enjoy your time with family and friends All your sadness and anger ends Dogs come for cuddles, and cats that purr But time slips away in a blur Nothing lasts forever However Some only have hardships ahead Some do not have food instead We must help them get what they need, We should do a deed for a need, That’s what we do But for the ones with a home, You will never be alone, Because someone is always waiting for you, And for everyone, it is always true, Whether it be a friend, family, or loyal hound, Abandonment is nowhere to be found, A house is built with bricks and beams, But a home is built with love and dreams. Wherever you are, never fear, For in your heart, your home is always there.
