People smiling and laughing A kid feeling the warmth of her mom A family picture tilted Two big shoes and one small shoe The hard floor of your first steps Pasta all over your face The rubber on your swing The little sound of your first word A scratch from the dog Dressing up in your minnie mouse outfit Knocking on doors A cool breeze Coming home with candy Mommy has a bum on her belly Holding a mini you in your arms Sleeping over at grandmas Coming home to a baby Playing in the snow Decorating a long, tall tree Counting down till Santa comes Waking up with excitement Running downstairs Opening the gifts Santa brought Celebrating new years Waiting for the easter bunny Blowing out the candles on your cake Jumping in a pool Growing up Moving away to a new home Busy nights at the dance studio Helping mom make cookies Two big shoes two small ones Still sleeping with a baby blanket Late nights Blowing out the candles on your 11th birthday Looking at the mini you who isn't mini anymore Looking at your parents who now have grey hairs Grandma looking older than before You look different On Halloween it's no longer a minnie mouse outfit School getting harder Making new friends New school photos The home being empty On weekends you watch your sister play hockey Late night calls with your friends A couple tears Realizing you're growing up Home being more than a place Home is where the heart is. Home is where your family is Home is a safe place Home is not just a place.
