What Can Be in a Home?

The music of an instrument or a song can fill a room and bring joy, sadness, or other emotions, depending on what the genre is. Music can be part of a home. In my home, I like to play the piano by myself, or with family around me to listen and enjoy. I love the smell of delicious food being cooked in the oven. Delicious food can be a part of a home. In my home, my mom and dad make the best foods I can ever imagine. They are my dream chefs! It is the perfect place to get lost in a book and feel the wonders of what it has to offer. Books can be a part of a home. In my home, I like to snuggle up on my favourite spot on the couch or on my favourite chair and get lost in the book I’m reading. I love the feeling of maple syrup getting sticky on your hands, but it is always sweet. Maple syrup can be part of a home. In my home, when I eat waffles or pancakes for breakfast, the maple syrup always gets sticky on my fingers. Sometimes, I even like that feeling! I love the call of the loons at dusk, and the song of the coyotes howling. Songs of nearby animals can be part of home. In my home, I can sometimes hear birds chirping from outside my window. A happy family full of love and laughter is a part of a home, especially in my home! I hope that Habitat for Humanity will make sure that everybody has a place to call home, and will feel the wonders of what a home has to offer. By: Kidan Ghebregiorgis Grade 5
