"Home is where the heart resides Where memories are made, and love abides It's the place we go, when we need to feel Safe and secure, and always real It's the scent of baking, wafting in the air The familiar creak of stairs, we've grown to bear The soft hum of a loved one's voice That brings us comfort, and makes our hearts rejoice It's the cozy warmth, of a hearth or fire That makes us feel, as though we're never tired The softness of a bed, we've come to know That cradles us, and helps us let go Home is where the laughter rings And we find the comfort, that each day brings It's where we can be ourselves, without fear or shame And know that we're loved, just the same It's the place we come back to, after a long day's roam To rest and recharge, and call our own Home is not just a place, but a feeling we share Of warmth and love, that's always there. ©gopi kiran "
