The True Essence of Home

A home is where your new story begins. It’s a place where I feel safe and loved. A home is more than a place, it’s a place where memories are made and filled in each room. A home is a place where laughter echoes through each hall. The familiar scent of home cooked meals is a treat for the soul. A home is where love resides, in every corner it hides. It’s a sanctuary of peace, a refuge from life’s wild ride. A home is a place where you’re chreised, protected and always in reflection. A home is a place where you can truly be yourself, and love is always in the air. A home is not a spot on the map, it’s a sense of belonging, a nice warm loving place. A place where you’re always valued. A home is a treasure by your side. A place where you can eat and feel loved in one place. A home is not just bricks and stone, it’s where we belong, a place to call our home. A home is not just walls or a roof that is held high, but a sense of belonging, a starlit sky. A home is a place where souls can safely sleep, in every corner love hides and waits. To warm our hearts at heaven’s gates. If you ever come in from a bad day, the hugs will make you happy and all of the bad things will go away. Thank you Habitat Humanity for a safe home.
