What Home Means to Me

Home and house are different things. Love and loyalty along with laughter I can tell you what they are after. A home is a place with all you love, and a book or tv is all you need. A place for homework or your bed to sleep. A couch to lay by the fire is like a mom’s kiss or a hug by your father. Fuzzy as a bee your dad’s moustache will be or sweet as caramel like your mother's kiss on the cheek. You’ll always feel loved like a bird on a tree, and love is a pop tart that always finds its way to your heart. It makes you feel good and warm inside like a blanket wrapped around you with all its warmth. Laughter is like a cold winter day when you go in your blankets after the long long day. With your family you watch a movie staying up late laughing your heads off like a baby seeing peekaboo for its first time ever. Laughter is hearing a funny joke or watching a video that leaves you laughing till you can’t breathe. Laughter is the tickle in your tummy that you’re trying not to giggle from. Without laughter there would be no love and without love there wouldn’t be laughter. Loyalty is not keeping secrets or breaking promises. Loyalty is not scamming or lying. Loyalty is the opposite. Loyalty is fun. It’s your dog with a stick asking you to throw it. Loyalty is in your heart and on your skin you just can’t feel it. Loyalty is truthful. Now you see what a home means but a house is easier to describe. A house is a building just a dull old building. Without love there wouldn’t be laughter, and if there was no laughter there would be no love and loyalty, and without loyalty our world would be only suspicion and war.
