The Safety of Home
In a home there are many options for entertainment
Even if some forms are broken or bent
When boardgames are present home can be an arena
Especially with games like Taco, Cat, Goat, Cheese, Pizza
Home is a place you can rest
It brings comfort and safety like a delicate nest
When home is far the world is filled with frightening sounds
But it’s less frightening when friends and calmness is what surrounds
When you walk out of a situation that feels like a threat
Home is there to rescue you like a safety net
If you feel sad, cold, or lonely
A home lets the sorrow wash away slowly
If you are stuck in the midst of a hurricane, tornado, or tempest
In the safety of a home you can finally rest
Home is a shelter in which people are tethered
But only because the shelter provides safety they have remembered
Home is a place where you can be together and alone
You can sit in your room, yet still hear your father drone
When a nightmare befalls you in the middle of the night,
Your mother’s embrace makes everything feel right
A sibling can be relentlessly infuriating
They may remind you of a painfully constant sting
Though younger siblings are annoying as they tap, yell and hum
At least they always give you some of their gum
Pets burst your eardrums as they yell, meow, and bark
And taking care of them certainly isn’t a walk in the park
But in addition to the crushing obligation
They are an adorable furry creation
Not everyone has a house or home
But organisations give a placeholder
And Habitats for Humanity never turns a cold shoulder
