Meaning of Home

Home isn't a place of phones and video games. It is a place of joy, happiness and love. Home is a place of love all around and a house is a place where that can't be found. You have to explore the feeling of comfort, safety and belonging that a home can provide. Houses just divide. I never feel alone when I'm at home. I feel safe. That's what matters the most. Home isn't so bad, you just have to be grateful. This is our favorite place. Our beginning and end to every day. It's our glory. These walls tell us stories as they soak up all we do and say. This is our space. Each corner is laced with items we’ve chosen with care from sweet scented candles to fixtures and handles. The atmosphere just right to share. So near, so far, wherever we are, no matter where we are. To home we leave and we learn but we always return. This is what we call home. Home is where the house is and where we all must stay. The sun has started shining. We see the flowers grow. Our mornings are much brighter and warmer wind blows. A house can be made of sticks and mud but a home can be made out of love, happiness and laughter. A home can be 20 stories tall or in the ground below. A home can be way up a hill or next to an ocean. A home can have a chimney on its side. A home can be where you're safe and sound with family friends and more. A home can be where you have your heart and all that you adore. The walls of a new home will always remain cold, until it is occupied by young and old. Home is a base it's where you have fun and you do your own thing. It's where you are you and people see you truly and return with a smile. Your home has joy in each room. They hold laughter too. Every window is always open to possibilities. Cluttered corners and spiderwebs are in my only home, my favourite home!
