The Wonders of Home

Home is more than a place I live It holds a heart to appreciate and to thrive In the garden marigolds here and roses there I can smell the fresh and calm in the air Home is a place to be creative and fun The play and the mess are never done. Spray brother with a water gun Cooling down in the hot summer sun Home is more than a room where I sleep It's a place for comfort when I weep When my emotions grow wild I feel horrible to be an upset child My mom wraps me tightly in a blanket Telling me I'm an easter bunny in a basket Home is where I can be myself Jumping, yelling and doing wrong in front of an elf I bury myself in books on my bed Pretend homeworks done, reading instead Chickadee chirping is my home's sound While worms try to hide and not be found Just open your heart and you'll see Home is a place for all creatures to be Enjoying writing my journal but a sudden thought... A thought breaks my heart, and can't be fought — What if my home is gone? I will be lost like a stray cat in a lonely bubble Trying to escape the swallowing dark trouble That is too painful to imagine and is not coming true My home is filled with memories I've been through My panic stops as the rain trickles down It’s the time to put on my cozy nightgown Looking outside and feelling the world sleeping Everyone deserves a home for resting and keeping I am going to have a dream tonight The dream that lights my heart bright Supporting others to help them understand Home is a place where we grow hand in hand
