WHAT HOME MEANS TO ME

Home isn’t just where I sleep at night, It’s where my world feels calm and bright. It’s the sound of laughter in every room, The feeling of love that chases the gloom. Home is the warmth when the weather’s cold, The place where my heart feels young, yet old. It’s the cozy hugs and the quiet peace, The place where all my worries cease. Home is where I learn to be strong, Where I feel safe and where I belong. It’s the simple moments that make me smile, Like sitting at dinner, staying awhile. Home is the door that opens wide, A place where I don’t have to hide. It’s where I’m free to be who I am, Where I’m loved the same whether I’m good or I’ve slammed. Home is the garden where flowers bloom, The sound of birds singing, a lovely tune. It’s where the sun sets and paints the sky, And the stars appear as the day says goodbye. Home is where my dreams come alive, Where I feel ready to run, to dive. It’s the strength I find when I’m feeling small, A place that catches me when I fall. Home is the smile that greets me every day, A place that feels perfect in every way. It’s the special things no one can take, Like the warmth of a hug, or a cake that we bake. Home is where the heart beats loud, Where every feeling stands out proud. It’s the place where we forgive and grow, Where the love keeps flowing and continues to glow. Home is the memories we make and keep, The ones that make me laugh and sometimes weep. It’s where I can always return and find A sense of peace, a place to unwind. Home is the feeling of being whole, The quiet comfort that fills my soul. It’s where I am loved, and I love back, The place where I know I’ll never lack. Home is my safe place, my heart’s true key, The place where I’m happy, where I can just be. It’s not just the roof or the floor beneath, But the love and joy that live in the brief. Home is everything, both big and small, A place where no matter what, I stand tall. It’s where I know no matter the way, I’ll always have a place to stay.
