Home’s Where Your Heart Is

Home’s where your heart is. It’s where you belong. It’s more than a building. It’s where you love to be. Home’s a place to be yourself. Home’s where your good memories are. You have to feel safe and loved for it to be home. I feel loved at home. Everybody should feel loved. Everybody should have a shelter to feel safe in. Home’s like my brother snuggling with me. It’s also chicken fingers and fries cooking in the air fryer. Home’s like my mom hugging me. Home’s where my family is. It’s where I feel good emotions. My heart’s at home because I’m loved and cared for. I love being at home because in the cold winters with freezing wind I can sit inside a warm house. When I’m at home I feel comforted. It’s only home if you see, hear, and feel good things. My home’s special. I have family that cares for me and enough food and water. My house is just an ordinary house but my home isn’t like any other home in the world. Habitat for Humanity has been helping people to get safe houses where people feel like their heart belongs.
