If Home Were...

If home were a sight, it would be a river with mountains rising behind it and a warm sunset glowing in the sky. If home were a sound, it would be my family laughing, my parents telling me they’re proud of me, and the excitement of hearing that my grandparents will visit us in the summer. If home were a smell, it would be freshly cooked hamburgers, a perfectly toasted bun and cheese melted just right. If home were a taste, it would be hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and marshmallows, sipped beside a fire on a winter midnight. If home were a touch, it would be a big, warm blanket that makes me feel safe from everything in the world. I love my home because it’s safe, warm, and filled with a family who always supports me.
