Being Home
by Stacia A. Ness

Being home is a safe feeling,
...Warm and cozy inside
Like hot chocolate on a cold day
...Fits like a glove.
It's like that old T-shirt
...Worn, just beyond perfection
So comfortable you could wear it
...Forever and ever.
Snuggling in front of a fire
...Laughter and tears
Good times and bad
...Where your heart is safe
Where time stands still.
...There as you grow
Constant and true
...Memories and dreams
Hopes and wishes come true
