Meaning of Home

Home is where I am loved unconditionally, so I can be myself. It is where I feel safest, and it is what I am most protective of. Home is where I start all my adventures and where I end all my worries. Tears fall freely, with sadness or with joy, but always with strength. Home is where exciting and new things still happen, with those I am with everyday. It is where broken hearts are mended, because our home is in each other’s hearts. Home, even when cluttered, is where our minds are cleared. Memories may be made anywhere, but home is where I cherish them. Home is where we return to, not because we have to, but because we want to. A sturdy house has strong walls, but our home has no barriers. Curtains are drawn but the window to our thoughts is always open. Electricity provides the light, but we can always see clearly in our home. A house may have heating but our home is already warm. Water may flow freely in a house, but it is love that overflows in our home. Turn on the lamps but in our home, we are enlightened even in the darkest of nights. Ring the doorbell to be let in a house, but our home is unlocked for love is the key. I hope you have a roof over your head but can still reach for the stars. You need shelter from the elements, where you can still feel nature’s embrace. I wish you comfort, and be comfortable to be yourself, have a place to cook your meals, and nourish your spirit. I pray you have a place to sleep, where your dreams are born, perhaps also a garden, where flowers bloom and love grows. I need you to have refuge from the chaos, so you may recharge your soul. May your small house feel grand with smiles that go for miles. I promise you then, this house is now your home.
