What Home Means To Me

Life can be messy, full of twists and turns, But home is the place where comfort returns. It’s more than just walls, a roof, or a floor— It’s a safe space that feels like so much more. Being a kid can be tricky and strange, With emotions and thoughts that constantly change. But at home, you’re free to just be who you are, To dream your own dreams and reach for the stars. When school feels hard or friends let you down, When the weight of the world makes you frown, Home is the place to breathe and let go, A shelter of love where you’re free to grow. It’s not about being perfect or neat, But sharing moments that feel warm and sweet. Your room is your world, your own little space, Where your style and passions fill up the place. Homes come in all shapes—loud, quiet, or small— But love is the heart that connects it all. It’s where you feel safe when life gets too wild, A haven of care for every growing child.
