Meaning of Home

A home is not a house. A house is made with bricks and wood, but a home is built with love and memories. A home is where the heart is, people say. Home is a place where dreams are made. Home is a place where we sleep and play. Home is a place where we stay everyday. May our home be lit up with laughter and peace. Home to me is a place where I feel safe with my friends and family. A house may wear down over time, but a home remains strong as long as love fills it. Home is a place where I can truly be myself. It is where no bullies can reach me, and where I always feel safe. Home is a place where I never lose hope, joy and most importantly, love. At home, I smell freshly cooked dinner by mom. At home, I hear my adorable sister giggling and blabbering random sounds that I don’t understand. Home is baking with my mom, and gaming with my dad. Home is snuggling in my cozy warm blanket next to our hearth on a cold snowy day. I am grateful to have a lovely roof over my head that protects me all day and night. I think everyone deserves a safe home.
