Home

Home is somewhere to feel safe, warm, and loved. Home is a place to live, have fun (play safe, not dangerously like me sometimes), eat breakfast, lunch (sometimes), and supper. Home is a place to rest and play video games or watch movies. Home is also a feeling. Home isn’t always a place to work but lots of school work and yard work like mowing the lawn, gardening, in the winter shoveling and sweeping. Home is where the heart starts to beat, grow strong, and healthy. Some people can’t always be at home because they either have to go to school, the grocery store, gas station for the lawn mowers, or to visit a friend but remember to lock the doors just for safety. Old becomes new, mistakes change to goodness. Home, family never falls apart in tough times like storms or people attacking each other. Families protect each other when bad stuff happens. “Home is always there when you need it.” Houses may burn but home still stays in the heart, home is never forgotten. Home is where families watch out for each other. “Darkness never shows at home.” Home is like a light that will not burn out because it’s also a memory that’s never forgotten. Home has no worries unless you’re in trouble. Home is important, without home life is pretty much useless. Morning, afternoon, and night. There's nothing to worry about darkness can’t you, you just can’t see. Doors are locked, nothing can get in, you're safe, no one can hurt you. Storms like tornadoes and hurricanes may wreck your house but home is still there. Home can’t leave you, it's stuck inside of you no matter what happens. You may think home isn’t there anymore but it’s still there. Memories, family, love, food, and fun is part of home. If you lose your house you may feel broken but you're not you’re just hurt because all the stuff you had is lost, but not your memories, they’re still inside your head somewhere. Everyone should have a home, (shelter) even the homeless have homes but not to live in, the memories: fun, family, siblings, food, water, and love. All pets have homes with you, no one is left behind, enemies aren’t left behind either. Home isn’t left in the past it could also be the future, home is for everyone.
