What Home Means To Me

Home to me is not just bricks and tiles It’s a place full of comfort, warmth, and different styles of smiles Home is a place that is bound to be found With laughter and joy all around A space where I don't get judged My personality will never smudge Home is where I hear peace and the sea And a place where I always feel free Comfort in every room, joy in each day Just like sometimes when the sky is grey A place where friendships and trust grow Along with hearing the water flow Home is where my family gathers around Sharing love and laughter, never a frown Whether it's a game night or a simple meal The happiness we share is undeniably real Home is a place where its ok to cry A place where I never have to lie Someone is always there to help me through the hardest times And My brother always whines with bedtimes Home is where I learn rights and wrongs While hearing the kitchen tongs In each little corner, exciting memories unfold Memories and moments, precious as gold Everyone deserves a place to stay Where they feel safe night and day A safe, cozy place to call their own A place where they can freely roam
