The Meaning of Home

The meaning of home To me is a nice warm cup of hot chocolate sitting by the fireplace And a crisp evening wrap-up in a quilted blanket my nan made me With the smell of dinner in the kitchen knowing it will be done soon. Home is building a snowman on a snow day With the sound of the neighbors Snowblowers and plows are going by Knowing that tomorrow I will be back in school. Home is knowing I would be safe and sound in my house As a snowstorm passes through the city Knowing that I have lots of food for emergencies a house made out of bricks And wood but a house is made out of a family Home is where the heart is Home is family Home is home for a better tomorrow Matthew Mundon Mount Pearl, Newfoundland
