Home

Home is a place that you hold
deep inside your heart.
It might be in a building
that is tall or small or smart.
It could be dancing, playing music
or when creating bright new art.
It could be roaming freely
with a beautiful horse and cart.
It might be high upon a hill
watching a river wind and swell
or it could be with a lovely friend
who cares enough to help you mend
when you are hurt by words or deeds
who tends so kindly to your needs.
It could be in a crop filled field,
where swaying plants have grown from seed.
A beach with sand might be your place,
or searching through a scope to space.
It may not be inside four walls
It could be where the water falls.
Within the pages of a treasured book
or fishing with a line and hook.
It could be in your days at school
or in a cool blue swimming pool.
Perhaps it’s in the company of a cat or a dog
or when your watching tadpoles turning into shiny frogs.
It’s somewhere you feel safe and warm.
away from fear and tears and storms.
There’s a home for everyone it’s true!
For me and us and them and you.
