Home means a safe haven

A loving dog to greet me when I return

Home is a sense of belonging

An identifying with a place that formed our beginnings

Not feeling walled in against the world but an open door to it

Living with beloved people, a landscape you understand

Objects with memories, comfort, security, caring

A place that I can call my own, with home sounds

And home echoes that reverberate. But it can cut and hurt

When you are on the outside looking into other people’s rooms

You on the pavement in the cold

Home is central heating and a comfortable bed,

Home is where one lays one’s head

A safe haven where you can be yourself
