The Meaning of Home Through My Koala

I love my koala stuffy, Which always keeps me happy. When I have nightmares that are scary, My koala is always near me. My koala and I are always together, And we will forever love each other. My koala is my best friend, And I pray that our friendship never ends. My koala is my home, And that is what I will explain in this poem. I dress up my koala in bows, And it lights up my life, like a rainbow. I like the eyes because they always shine, I like the nose because it’s as beautiful as a rose. Home is my koala who is forever mine, My sweet stuffie, my cutie pie. My koala is a boy, And with him, the only emotion I feel is joy. When he cuddles me up with his big fluffy ears, I wake up with happy tears. He is kind, And when he is not, I don't mind. My koala always listens to my dreams, Even if it’s something as small as buying ice cream. I will always give him a hug, So hard that it could break a mug! My koala is the best, He is my home, where I rest my head on his chest. Together we laugh, And stay on the right path. Koala, I love you— Malak, me too. But I know not everyone feels this way, Some don’t have a safe place to stay. Everyone deserves a home that’s bright, Filled with love, and holding them tight. The best friend of all, With fuzzy arms, a round face—it’s my favorite place to fall. And I hope one day, everyone will see, A home as cozy as my koala is to me
