What is Home?

Home is when I walk in the Kitchen and hear the sounds of dishes clashing together while I smell the delightful smell of sweets and treats that fills the whole house. Home is when I continue to the Living Room where I can have a peaceful place to rest and watch my favorite shows on my TV while my fluffy beautiful cat rests on my lap. Home is when I take a walk outside into the Backyard where I can feel the leaves crunching before my feet each step I take. In my backyard I like to explore and adventure the wonders and calmness around me. Home is when I find myself in my calm and peaceful bedroom. My bedroom is my favorite room because when I jump on to my cozy bed it feels like I am jumping on a fluffy floating cloud. I also love my room because it holds memories and is the room that makes me feel most safe. Home Is when I walk into the bathroom where I can have a restful warm bath. Once I get out of it I change into my coziest PJs that wrap around me like a warm blanket. Home is when I make my way down the stairs where my nanny always cooks her delicious meals. My favorite food that my nanny makes is her delicious sweet and sour meatballs because they taste so fantastic. Sweet, soft, moist. Home is a special place where you can build a family and memories that will live and continue to grow with you as you live the rest of your life. Everyone deserves a home.
