Home is where the heart is...

Home is Where The Heart is Home is more than I place I live, It’s where I appreciate and thrive. In the garden tulips bloom everywhere, I hear laughter and joy fill the air. Home is a place to be wild and fun, Here the play and frolic is never done. Give mom a tease and a goofy pun, Spray dad with a water gun. Running, jumping, act like an elf, Home’s where I can be myself. Bury my face with books on my bed, Pretend I’m sleeping, reading instead. Birds singing is my home’s sound , While beetles hide and try not to be found. Just open your eyes and you’ll see, Home is a place for all creatures to be. Home has empathy, Listen to you as you speak. It will always be there steady and wise, Offering a helping hand, no need for disguise. Home is a place that comforts me, Through sadness, despair and bad memories. It’s more than a place to rest and sleep, It wipes my eyes when I weep. A sudden thought , Leaves me wondering after dark. What if my home was gone? Without a home would be a burden to carry, Like losing ones that you love dearly. With nowhere to be and nowhere to stay, I’d be lost like a lonely stray. A golden star shoots by, Illuminating the dark black sky. I close my eyes and make a wish, For this world to live in bliss. I look outside and find a world sleeping, And think-everyone deserves a home for keeping. Open your heart and you’ll see , Home is a place for everyone to be. Just like a bird finds it’s song, I’ve found where I belong. Supporting others to help understand, Home is where you grow hand in hand.
