Home
Is a place where you
Stand and think,
I belong.
Home
Is a place you can't feel sad
About leaving because
You know
You will
Be back.
Home
Is part of your
Past,
Present, and
Future,
Even if you've only just
Arrived and are leaving
Tomorrow.
Home
Is a place where
You find people
With hearts
Made from the same material
As yours.
At home
You speak,
And are understood.
At home
You listen,
And understand.
At home,
Smiling is easy, and
Love
Is a feeling
That never
Leaves.
