What Does Home Mean?

A home isn’t merely a house built with stone, It’s a fortress of warmth, a foundation well-known. A house can be grand with towering heights, Or quaint and inviting, a pure delight. But a home is a refuge, a place to stand tall, A shelter from storms, a space that fulfills our call. Here, bonds are unbreakable, each moment we share, With family and friends who show how much they care. To me, a home is where my journey takes flight, Where I took my first steps, embracing the light. It's where I belt out my favourite songs, In this vibrant space where my heart truly belongs. I'm cherished and valued, and here I feel free, A home is a treasure, where I can just be. It’s a place everyone deserves, without any doubt, A realm of security, where love is all about. My home is not just any house. It is MY house, my very own house where I feel excitement and joy. And my home is with my family, who make me feel hopeful and taller than anything in the world. So, in conclusion, let me share my thoughts, A house may stand tall, with beauty it’s caught. With rooms filled with glamour and fine design, Yet without love and warmth, it fails to shine. For a home is a refuge, a place to belong, Where laughter and memories create our song. It’s the comfort in moments, the joy that we find, A heart full of love is what truly aligns. So, remember this truth as you journey through life, A grand house is just walls, but a home is pure light. In the end, it’s not bricks or the roof up above, But the bonds that we cherish and the presence of love.♥️
