Home Is Where the Heart Is

Home, where there may not be a fireplace, but where I worship Jesus’ grace Home is where I lay my tired head, where my cat declares to be quickly fed, purring vigorously and loudly Home is where there is a happy place, where I feel warmth and see candles burning on the wick like dancers jumping for joy Home is where I hear my feisty little sister, playing with a new toy that really excites her Home is absolutely pure in my heart no matter what happens, and my house protects me and my family Home is where I taste love in every meal, from mom’s cookies being baked to my sister and I we really steal from the fridge Home is where we all love from the creation of earth or a single drop of rain from above Home is where I hold everything dear to me, from the sweet smell of lemonade to peace and serenity Home is where I wake up in the morning, fresh and feeling like I’m soaring across the delightful sky Home is where I listen to the birds chirping, from day and night to left and right Home is where there is no stress, where I can prepare freely for a big and serious test Home is where you can write and share your thoughts freely with empathy, by helping Habitat For Humanity
