Home to Me

When I think of home I think of a warm, safe, and cozy place for me to rest. I know some people don't have lovely homes or even don't have a home at all and that's why you should be grateful for your wonderful home and the safety and comfort that comes with it. A home is a place where you feel safe. You should be grateful for this feeling as not many people have homes to keep them feeling safe. There are between 150 000 and 300 000 people that experience homelessness each year in Canada, meaning that many people have no understanding of what the safety of a home feels like. Another example of a home is comfort. You can sit on your couch and laze around all day while someone homeless is sitting in an alleyway while it's raining all day. They deserve to have a feeling of comfort so they can laze around and feel safe like us. A final example of the definition of home is family. A home is a place where family and friends can come together and talk to each other. A home can feel safe even on a stormy day with lightning and thunder, while homeless people can't feel the safety of shelter. Homeless people do not have a warm, cozy home to hide in while the lightning strikes and the wind screams. All homeless people should have a home. If you have a home, be grateful for the roof over your head and the walls surrounding you.
