Everyone has a home

The meaning of home, not the place you live in, but the family you live with. You could live anywhere, but a home is not a home without family, it would just be a place, a shelter, but not a home. A home needs love, and happiness to share it with. A home needs someone who is caring, loving and kind. A home needs somebody who cares about you and will do anything for you to make you happy. That someone could be a friend, a mother, a father, a sister, a brother, a grandmother, a grandfather, or someone different. A home needs joy and peace, not anger and rage. A home needs to make you feel safe, not depressed, or sad. A home does not need big walls, warm and soft beds, comfortable couches, delicious food, and a roof, it just needs love, and care. A home needs hope, support, and laughter, a home needs good thoughts, positive attitude, and generosity. A home needs thoughtfulness, kindness, honesty, and care. A home needs the delicious smell of your father's cooking, and the amazing things while in the park with your mother. Home is a special place, many people may think they do not have one, but really, everyone has one, even if you do not think so, it is true, believe it or not, everyone has one, even you!
