Meaning of Home

In Ontario my home was turning into a house It was so silent you could even here a mouse It made our family feel despite while fearing us with fright We show up at our new house ready to turn it into a home I’ve been in my home for almost three miraculous years And it's made me realize what a home truly is I need to be more grateful Even when it’s painful Because over all that pain Is my family making sure i’m ok Scientifically a home is a building with walls, windows and a door But to me my home is a space where I can explore It’s where I find more crazy ideas and study art I will always rely on my special grocery cart Wherever I am in my home I can always smell my dads delicious and nutritious food I’ll always devour that food when I'm in a hungry mood. Meanwhile my mom is petting my fluffy dog Sometimes he hogs her from the rest of us all My home is not just where my bedroom is It’s where all my happiness and joy comes from when my sister says the word rizz It’s not just a place where I play It’s my happy place and it calms me down after a rough day It’s a home and a home is mine where I make adventures. I might eat in my home but that’s not the part that makes it great It’s the thought and effort my parents create When I go to a house it’s not the same as my home therefor my home is my own Where I laugh, cry, smile, but most importantly it brings my family together as well as showing us the real meaning of the best home
