What is Home?

A home is a safe place you can live. In a home you should feel protected, loved, and have a roof over your head. They say home is where the heart is, but it’s more than just heart, it’s memories, laughter, happiness, sadness, and all of these things . Every brick placed will keep you warm and shield you from the great outdoors. At night when you sleep, you should feel no harm. It's important to feel a sense of relief. As you lie in your bed, your soft and warm sheets will comfort you to sleep. It will bring joy to you and your family to laugh and play almost every day. For my family and I, we enjoy playing games of all sorts. We play Monopoly, Yahtzee, and Exploding kittens. In the bedroom I feel joy every night. To the kitchen where we cook a lot, we are always cautious of the stove that is scorching hot. We cook pizza, Tacos, and Beef bowls.In the living room where we laugh and relax , we sit by the fire and enjoy chatting with a cup of love to go with it. As a little kid I was curious about everything, everything was an adventure and now I'm older and I still enjoyed life in every way possible. On the balcony we watched the parades like Canada day. It was so loud and they even threw candy at me! I looked out on the beautiful winding river on a warm summer’s day. For me I enjoy watching the hustle and bustle of the city and watching the lights at night. And with that, you should have a home too.To enjoy life in every way possible just like me and soon, maybe like you.
