Home is

Home is waffles on a Saturday morning. Home is the smell of old books at the library. Home is every stroke you swim at the pool. Home is the satisfying crunch when your skates hit the ice. Home is the sound of the waves crashing at the beach. Home is the feel of chalk when your hands hit the uneven bars at gymnastics. Home is the smell of all your classmates at school. Home is the sound of the basketball dribbling on the hard floor during a match. Home is kicking the ball around during soccer practice. Home is the feel of playing with the pages of your favorite book. Home is making up games with your little brother. Home is writing about make-believe characters at school. Home is walking through the woods near your family’s cottage. Home is running to the park with your sibling. Home is cartwheeling around the block with your friends. Home is driving to school with your family. Home is wherever you feel safe, loved, and happy.
