My home
Written in these walls are stories that I can't explain
memories fly in these four walls
Smells that only these four people would know
Running to the door saying “daddy's home!”
running into his arms
Crying after falling down asking your mom
if she’ll kiss your boo-boo to make it better
I love yous fly around the room
Dog barking, mom says “Pizza’s here!”
Pretending to be asleep on a late car ride home,
Hoping, just hoping, you’ll get carried in to bed
Waking up at 3 am on Christmas morning
Mom saying, “Go back to bed, it's too early!”
Hearing the coyotes howl and scream at the lake
Getting up surfing for the first time
Memories in this life I won't forget
Forever and ever these memories will be in my heart
Till the day I die
