Home is….

It’s the smell of your moms cooking in the air Not a destination, not just a where It's the sound of paws on the floor What you find on the other side of the door Home is a feeling not a house It's a place where you feel secure And bask in comfort that is pure It’s where you always belong And support around you is strong Home is in our harts It’s not simply a structure A mom who won’t give up on the picture That for years she held in her mind Home is where I am with you It’s a dad working three jobs And making through nights filled with sobs It’s in the memories you create the power of unconditional love is great Home is always persevering It’s someone cheering you up when you are feeling low Always there to help you grow It’s bad jokes and being absurd No one judging you for beaning a nerd Home is being true to you’re self It’s in your nightly prayer Not a destination, not just a where It’s what you find on the other side of the door Not always about wanting more Home is a feeling not a house
