WHERE I BELONG!

Home isn't about where you are, if you had a mansion or nothing at all Whether you’re inside warm and cozy or are outside cold In nature listening to the birds call it's about people you’re with Some people say a “house” and a “home” are exactly the same… IT’S A MYTH! It doesn't matter if you're broke or are full of wealth, It’s the people you love and the care for your health A house may have pretty decor followed by four walls and a roof, but a home is filled with people you trust and who know the truth A house is just a building,But a HOME is alive! It’s where people learn from each other and thrive HOME is the friends we’ve made along the way Home is the heart of it all, that’s why I choose to stay Tomorrow is coming and yesterday is done, but the love of a happy and safe home has just begun Home is the love that can inspire, Home is like a candle’s eternal burning fire. Through the people we’ve lost, it may seem gray But don’t lose hope or those memories will fray Whether it’s sunny, wet and damp, or it’s snow You just have to learn when to let go It’s faster than you think Years feel like they pass by in a blink You may think home is okay, but it's so much more, Take your time and you might find what you’re looking for.
