Home is Where the Heart is...

I thought home was a place, a roof, a house, I now realize, it’s the love, the trust, and a hole for a mouse, Home can be big, home can be small, But home is never far at all, Home can be just for you, or built perfect for two, No matter where you are, or where you come from, Home flows through you like a soft hum, Home is a place for your thoughts to roam free, Even if you don’t agree, My family gathers around the fire, As it shines bright, like a beautiful Sapphire, From delicate family phrases, The fire blazes, A place where we can truly just be ourselves, And can stack memories on bookshelves, A place where we can be as weird as weird goes, And laugh at the funniest of jokes, At home I hear my cat purring in my lap, And the water rushing from my tap, I feel the warmth of my family, And share my smile very happily, After all, Home is where the heart is, And that's definitely where mine is.
