Lucky to be home

Home is where the hugs are tight, While a violent storm booms through the night We gather around the dining table as a family And eat together heartily We share a bond that is beyond understanding A kind of love that is never demanding Where hate and distrust are in low supply Our house rules always apply Where we lend each other a helping hand Together, every trial we will withstand We often wonder what the future holds As our life together unfolds Where I learn to always be strong Somewhere I am certain I belong A place free of judgment, Where there is always room for improvement Home will always be a place to remember Everyday from January to December We celebrate our traditions regardless of the weather We always look forward to being together Where I am around people who know me best There are times when our relationship is put to the test Occasional bickering put us in a rage We stay positive and choose not to engage As fluffy snow slowly descends from the sky We are confined to our rooms for that much-needed shut-eye We look out for a falling star and remember how lucky we are
