The Meaning of Home

Home is when my mother cooks The kitchen fills with smells and spices For an evening off love and laughter Home is my paint brush on paper Filling each page with an idea of its own Letting my feelings out Home is where my words a strongest Letting others know and love me Binding us together with strings of kindness Home is sharing and talking it out For an endless life of safety and forgiveness Knowing were a family Home is where i can be myself Letting the funny side of me take over Bringing joy to silent rooms Home is the smell homemade tea A warm sensation of mint and ginger Created by a family Home is a hot summer day followed by a cool night We sit outside and talk and play together Loving each other more than ever Home is more than just walls around me Its family, tradition, love and kindness Its the way home feels and loves me just the way i am
