My Poetic Definition of Home
Home is a place of joy and laughter
As happy as could be
A zone where you can thrive and prosper
Filled with harmony
A place that is your very own
Offering enjoyment and comfort
Full of joy, like being on a throne,
And this we can strongly assert
A place where we can live together
With our families
Learning lessons which we’ll always remember
And realizing our capabilities
A place where we can be free
And openly convey our thoughts
Expressing our feelings thoroughly
While showing what we’ve got
A place where we get a sense of belonging
While feeling loved and respected
And go on with life without worrying
About whether or not we’ll be accepted
A place where we can be who we want to be
Unique and one-of-a-kind
Living our full life with glee
Without being restricted and confined
A place where we can celebrate our culture
Following our beliefs and traditions
And paint a vivid picture
Of all of our celebrations
A place where we can be happy
And enjoy, play, sleep and eat
Being busy, jolly and sometimes snappy
We can even achieve an incredible feat
A place where we can excel and shine
Following our dreams
Where endurance and hardwork combine
Like ingredients in an ice cream
A place where we also persevere
As we go through various challenges
Since the obstacles that we need to steer
All contain different passages
A place where we can stay safe and protected
From dangers such as the harsh weather
And from the heat and cold we can stay unaffected
As it provides us with shelter
Regardless of their identity
A home is a place everyone deserves to have
Thanks to organizations like Habitat for Humanity,
The number of homes keeps rising on the graph
