Just At Home

Home is where smiles are real Home is screams, shouts and cries Home is sister's schemes and brother's whines Home is sandpit diving, mudcakes and pies Home is swimming in cool waters that embrace and submerge me Home is music and languages - knowing things day by day Cultures and traditions that lead my family's way Home is friends who love and support you Home is dreams that you pursue Home is coming to meet fresh cooking - it's my mom's way of saying "I love you." Home is my shelter from storms - all storms Home is a place my instincts tell me to go Home is not where you are It's who you are with Some say, "home is where the heart is" For me, all these countless events make memories Moving from place to place leaving friends and enemies With a piece of my heart given to those I love most I venture out into the unknown and utmost No matter where I am, as long as I'm with who I love Home is life where everything smells new Floorboards creaking, windows dripping with morning dew Home - all these things to me, home is my lock's key
