My Wonderful Home

Home is a place where you live, take your first steps, say your first words. It makes me feel safe, even in a hurricane. I feel so cozy by the fireplace, cuddled in a blanket watching the fire dance. It’s where I have my best moments and worst; When I am sad, I cuddle up on my bed, have a sob, and hug myself. When I am happy, I dance around the halls like I’m in a film, or I’m a TV star. In your home you can be yourself singing out loud or moping around. You don’t have to worry about mean people Because you are home, and in your home you can be free. In my home, you can play with my cat Willow all day long before she stops, Shadow, my other cat, will make cute whining sounds. They will snuggle you all the time, and you can’t escape until they’re done, They purr and purr until you laugh on a day when you're sad to turn it around. Home is always full of love to light up your future and your past. But it makes me feel sad for all those people who don’t have a place to come home to, Or a nice place to eat with your parents or siblings and no money to help. I wish everyone has a home. Your home will always be there to help even though it can’t talk. Your home will still support you no matter what you choose and even if you move your home is never far away. Home is a place you keep in your mind no matter the distance, even in Disneyland you’ll keep your home in mind, because your home is a tiny part of you.
