home isn't just a four letter word
it isn't just a house or a place
with rooms and walls and boards
home is so much more
it's seeing your sister sleeping
soundly on the couch
next to the snoring dog
it's looking at old pictures
laughing about that one time
with your family by your side
it's the look your parents
give each other across the kitchen
like they've just fallen in love for the first time
it's sitting down for dinner
and smiling at each other across the table
thinking that life couldn't get any simpler
it's holding the ones you love
so tight they might break
for fear that home will lose its true meaning
home has many faces
not just simply words or places
home is full of endless love
