The Feeling of Home

A house has walls and a door But a home is so much more Not the walls, but what’s inside It holds our hopes, our dreams, our pride A home is a place where memories are made And where our dreams will never fade It is a sanctuary And it is necessary And so I pour my heart into this poem To explain exactly what is a home Not just the things that you can clutch But also our dreams we soon can touch You sleep in a house But dream in a home No matter the shape A square or a dome Every inch of my home Bottom to top Is filled with unconditional love That will never stop No matter if we move Or where we go This will follow me Into the unknown My home is my home No one could take this away Even if I leave the physical one The feeling will always stay I hope that everyone understands How important this is to have at hand I wish for everyone to experience What a home feels like and not just the appearance A home is a safe place that everyone needs Because this will help them to succeed Please do not underestimate How much we should all appreciate The huge effect homes have on us
