Home To Me

Fill your house with family Fill your house with friends Fill your house with laughter Fill your house with joy Home is where the heart is Gather around the table For a game of dreidel fun Cooking dinner Surrounded by loved ones Like a wooly scarf A hot bath A cozy hat A home is yours A home is there to shelter you To protect you when you’re sad A place where you are loved A home is made of love Filled with laughter Filled with joy You needn't be afraid in your home It will hold you Lift you up And make you feel warm inside Family gathers Loud and noisy Cozy and warm Cousins and siblings This is my home In the winter, gather round The fire crackles and roars Books or movies Marshmallows and s’mores Home sweet home The kitchen is a place to gather Scents, and tastes on your tongue Latkes, soup, dahl and lasagna Love is around you, everywhere My bedroom is my own space A relaxing atmosphere It will make me want to cuddle up And to unwind and relax The living room is cozy and sweet You will feel the urge to sit down and relax Feel free to do that You are free Your home may be different From all of the others This may be so Because everyone is different And so is your home You can be who you want to be Nobody is judging you and your dreams Home is everything To you and to me
