The Joy of Home

A home is a gift, a blessing, a place of rest. Nurturing growth and giving a sense of relief. A place to call my own, a place to keep. A home is a safe haven of sorts - trusting and reliable. Sense of euphoria, perfect and sound. A calming aura wall to wall, floor to ceiling. A home is a place to dream and dance. Aplomb radiating off each step and stride. A self-assured dance and leap. A home is a tranquil place, still and peaceful. Serenity and composure leaking, overflowing. A loud quiet rests in my home. A home is a bold sound, and a sweet touch. Valiant and firm, but kind-hearted it’s true. A deafening silence, determined and stubborn. A home is a shock of rejoicing, sweet and song-like. Celebrations take place, whether happy or sad. A cheer of honor, a ripple of festival. My home is gratifying, and I am glad that it’s mine.
