If I was a Home

If I was a home, I’d breathe and yearn, With every step, I’d grow and learn, I’d feel the glow of love’s embrace, And tremble with the winds that chase. I would hold the whispers of your dreams, And protect your tears that flow like streams. My photos and memories are upon the walls That echo your childhood through the halls. The floor that hums beneath your feet, A steady rhythm, so soft and sweet. The windows wink as daylight pours, While curtains flutter with whispered lore. My doors would creek, then softly hum, A welcome as the twilight comes. If I was a home, I'd give you reassurance and light I'd keep you close and hold you tight. Wrap you in dreams through the nightfall, That I hope you remember and do recall. Pillows as clouds, a comfort so deep, Muttering rest of your soul to keep. I’d cradle dreams within my core, And whisper news of what's in store. My door would greet each soul with grace, And long for those who left their trace. Through traditions, celebrations and memories dear, I am your home, forever near.
