What home is to me...
What home is to me………
My home is where my brother, Mom, Dad and sister are,
I don't think I could be happy without them.
Yes, we have toys and stuff,
But people are not replaceable like a teddy bear’s fluff.
There is laughter where they are,
It is happier where they are.
Home is a roof over my head,
Sheltered from the hot and cold when lying in bed.
I should feel safe where I am,
Not worried about the dangers or the mayhem.
Home is familiar, it is full of people I love.
Similar hugs and voices, similar smiles and noises.
Home is laughter wherever I am.
With family or friends,
There should always be laughter.
Laughter is the definition of happiness,
And Happiness is the key to finding home.
So, I write this poem about my home
for those without,
Without family
Without laughter
Without a roof over their head
Without happiness
Without familiar people
‘Cause I do believe that everyone should have somewhere or someone to call “Home.” No matter what
