Home is who you share it with

The meaning of home to me is A safe place to relax, sleep And a warm loving peace Home is where you cry and pout, Where you whine and bellow But home is also where you smile And have joy in your heart Home is where is I eat, play, sleep, drink and laugh Where I pave a path Home is where you are free to do what you want Where you have fun and where you plot Home is where you make funny jokes and Laugh with family friends and old folks Home may be made out of bricks But it’s something I would never fix Home is an object big or small Having friends or family to free us all Home helps you if things go wrong Home when you go to bed at night With no fright on a cold winter night Home is where you play in the rain Or travel somewhere warm or exotic in a plane Home is a wagging tail And a sleeping feline at your tip of nail Home is not an object big or small It’s who we share it with small or tall Home is playing Video games with your siblings Having the joy-stick In your hand and fiddling Home is not a reside It’s where memories collide Home is memories good and bad Like going to a beach or Dreaming far even out of reach Home is love that doesn’t fade, But moments shared and made Home is built, not just of stone, A place where you're never alone But at the end of the day Home is a not just a place It’s a feeling, it’s the people That make it our home base.
