This Is Home

Home is where I’m happy to be Home is where I’m always free. It’s definitely where I learn to share It’s the place where not everything will be fair and square Home is where I hear the silence before everyone wakes Home is where I hear the fright before something breaks It’s always going to be my place to stay It’s my place to always be okay My home isn't just a place where I might get some love My home isn't just a place where I might get a shove It’s where I’m always loved It’s where I’ll get most hugs I love my home because it's full of joy I love my home because it’s full of sisters to annoy It’s a place where I’ll always belong It’s a place where I learn what is right and wrong I love my room and all the places I could go I love my family that helps me grow It's where I can feel relaxed and at peace. It’s where I can feel free to release I smell my mom’s fresh baked cookies I smell that comforting air with no bullies It’s where I will feel most comfortable It’s a place where everything’s possible Home is where I taste yummy traditional food Home is where I taste the sadness removed It’s where I’m most supported It’s where I’m sometimes rewarded I touch my cold ice pack when I’m hurt Ouch It hurts, This is the worst! It’s where I’m helped by everyone there It’s where I’m sure everyone is aware I hope my poem gives someone the chance to feel this way I hope my poem gives someone the chance to come home everyday Thank you for giving someone a personality Thank you Habitat for humanity
