My Home

Home sounds like people talking in the hall near my room, Like the singing of the birds outside the window, The sound of my mom on a Zoom call for work Home feels like you're outside on a summer night next to a warm fire, Like you are in a cosy cabin in the woods, Like the first bit of a warm chocolate cookie with milk Home smells like french toast on a weekend moning, Like the smell of fresh flowers in a vase, Like a hint of salt water from the fish tank Home looks like people playing with a puppy on the floor, Looks like a girl going to her room with paint splatters on her clothes and face, Like a hockey bag in the alcove in the wall Home tastes like a fresh cup coffee for my mom, Like a fresh batch of homemade brownies with sprinkles and icing, Like the taste of a grilled cheese
