Meaning of Home

Home is the the smell of delectable food Where you occasionally steal a bit of junk food Home is where we act like fools Where your parents make the rules Home is where I can always feel comfortable Even after a bad day, even when I’m miserable Home is the source of hope, love, and dreams Where your story shines and gleams Even when my bed is a complete and utter mess I can always rely on it to relieve my stress Home is getting to stay up late on Saturday nights After power outages and sad times, even in the darkness, There is always someone to ignite the lights Home is where you play outside in the backyard Where you smile and thrive, laugh and don’t have to be on guard Home is where house parties are exciting It's where you dance and sing, everything is fun and inviting Home is where you can always have the most support Even when you unstring your brother’s guitar, He will still join you on the basketball court Home is where toys scatter the floor, Bedtime stories leave me wanting more Home is where mama’s hugs keep me warm, And papa’s silly jokes make every day a charm Home is where, from scary spiders to thunderstorms, I learnt to be brave So that dreams are born that I know I’ll someday pave Home is where all my favorite memories are made Where I can cry and grow, and my family’s love will never fade
