Gilded With Words [Poetry Collection]

A Home is a Home

A Home is a Home

With rooms full of memories

There is nowhere else I’d rather live

Toys strewn across the floor of one room

And clothes become the carpet of another

Beds with personal touches

And rooms with new coats of paint

Furniture I’ve known since birth

And decorations we bought last week

Melt together

And make the space welcoming

Movies against one wall

And bookshelves lining another

Pictures in the stairwell

Paintings by my mother hanging on the walls

Things here and there with meaning

Food in the fridge

Cats running down the hallway

My home is a giant scrapbook

And that’s all I want it to ever be
