The True Meaning of Home

Home to me isn’t just a painted wall, a roof and tiles Home is a place where you find smiles Home is the place you find warmth and love Home is where you feel free as a dove Family time in the living room Is where happiness starts to bloom When everyone is available to talk to When your day is blue Home is security and protection Home points you in the right direction Home keeps you safe like a lock When something leaves you in shock When you remember the memories you made here It gets rid of all the fear Home is filled with love and laughter When you spill the cup and make a disaster! Home kept us together for life In us was a glowing light Home will be there if you’re in a fight And tell you if you got the question right A house can be the place you live Home is where you are given and give Home is where love is in the air But a house only has a table and chair Home isn’t a physical thing It’s the feeling that kept us living At home I learned to read and write I learned to do what was right Home was an enormous piece of art That never needed perfections like mom’s homemade tart Home can be anywhere And always remember they’re there Where the people you love are found That is the perfect home A house could be anywhere in France or Rome But if there’s no one there It’s just a building with plain old air If what’s your home Doesn’t make you feel this way It might not be your true home There’s a whole universe out there, explore the globe! Until you find your true home
