Home is more than brick and wood

Home is more than brick and wood, It’s laughter that echoes, love at its core. A sanctuary where kindness blooms, The safest place that dispels all gloom. With my family close, my heart feels light, Their warm embraces make everything right. We share our dreams, our hopes intertwined, In joys and struggles, together we find. Home is where my heart can unwind, A cozy nest where our souls are aligned. Memories crafted with giggles and cheer, Each moment we cherish, year after year. It’s the aroma of dinners that linger in air, The comfort of stories that we lovingly share. It's the feeling of safety, a blanket of trust, A haven of love that’s gentle and just. No matter where life leads me to roam, I carry my heart there; it’s always my home. A place where I watch the stars align, Where laughter and love forever entwine. Here, we create, explore, and play, With school projects, games, and a bright sunny day. In every corner, there’s magic to find— Home is where my spirit is free and unconfined. So here’s to my home, my heart, my safe space, A treasure of memories no time can erase. In every shadow and every light, Home is where we find our light.
