Meaning of Home

This is my home, filled with special memories. When I wake up everyday, I open my window, I can smell fresh air, and hear birds singing on the trees. The smell of sausage is wonderful even though I am still in my bedroom. Then I just realized “This is my home!” When I walk out of my bedroom, I can see my little sister playing with her toys, I can hear my parents talking, and the sun shining on my cheek. When I go down stairs, I can feel the heat getting warmer. Then I think “This is my home!” As I walk through the hallway, I can see my dad working in the morning and a cup of coffee beside him. I can also see my treasure box filled with candy. I can hear water boiling. When I touch the soft couch in the study room, it makes me think of “This is my home!” Then I walk to the living room, I can see my sofa sitting there. In the kitchen, I can see cups of water ready for my family to drink, fresh food cut, and ready for me to eat. When I taste the sweet pancake, the sweetness reminds me that “This is my home!” When I walk through the hallway, I can see toys on the floor: dolls, and cars all over. As I go outside to my backyard, the grass is still green even though it is covered with snow. I can see gold fish swimming under the ice. I can smell the cold but refreshing air. There are also animals having fun in the snow. When I feel the soft snow, I think “This is my home, my special place, a place that I know, a place where I wish everybody to love!”
