The Heart of Home

Home is more than stacks of bricks, sticks and stones, It is a place of joy, where you are not alone Home is a place that is full with love, It is a place where there is a roof above. Home is where the kitchen is full of yummy foods, A place where you can feel all your moods, Home is a place for tears and laughter, A place for quiet or for chatter. Home is where you feel most safe Where you can run and laugh and play Home is where you go at the end of each day Where love and warmth make you want to stay Home is a place where you feel free, So you can be who you want to be, Home is a place you know you belong, It is a place where you feel most strong Home is more than just a space It feels just like a warm embrace Home is where you are being raised, To explore the world, to be amazed. Home is a hug when you feel down A cozy place for you to lounge Home is where life stories unfold Where memories are made, shared and told Home is where family is always near Their love can calm your every fear Home is where you learn and grow It is the heart of everything you know!
