Family is home

Home to me is the warmth of a hug The corners of my mom’s smile The twisted knots in my sister’s hair My dad and I sharing endless giggles Home to me is canoeing across lakes that seem miles long Quiet walks in the woods with my dog Warm buttery melt in my mouth waffles and a crisp glass of orange juice A slow paced board game on a Sunday afternoon Friday night pizza and cozy cuddles on the couch That’s home.
