A HEARTH OF EMOTION: The Meaning of Home

What is a home, what is a house? Loud as a boar, quiet as a mouse. A protective place with no fears to face Not just a house, an apartment or workplace. Home is a passion, a smell, a taste A wonderful feeling wrapped tight around your waist. A place of happiness with nowhere to dwell A place filled with family, a tenderness, a spell. A house can be a home, a home not just a house A story filled structure with your mom or your spouse. A battleground, a turf for siblings to brawl A soft landing pad where a baby can crawl. Not just 4 walls, a chimney, a roof A safe place where I don't have to be leak proof. Where people may go, be loved and deceased Where you can be more than a goof or a beast. No insecurities, a place for maturities To cleanse your mind be left with just purity. Though they’re gone, they live in the photographs Your family is there, to be your other half. My mom and grandma best cooks in the household I’ve never been left looking through a blindfold. I love my family my sister, my mother My long distance family who I'm ready to smother. Thank you, thank you home for humanity You’re helping good people save their sanity! Without out a home, I’d be quite out of my mind Because a family like mine is quite hard to find. I’ve never lost a family member But if I did I’d always remember. The pain it would display Already gives me a feeling of dismay. What is a home, what is a house? Without all this affection, the home is a jailhouse.
