Finding Home

Home

Something all of us long to find

Each of us with our own version of home

Whether it be a place, person or thing, we all take comfort in something

Home is a place where you are loved wholly and unconditionally

No barriers, restrictions, expectations or judgements

Where I am most comfortable being myself.

I am treasured and celebrated

My version of home is simple

You,

My loves,

I see home in my daughter's eyes and when my spouse smiles at me

I feel it when she calls me "Mom" and when he tells me he loves me

I know I have it easy, people spend their whole lives trying to find this

How lucky am I to have found you both so early in my life?

What isn't easy is my home is people and people are always on the go

Which means if Im not going with them, even if its just temporary,

They take a piece of me with them

And I don't feel the same until their return

They are my home, without them I feel incomplete

What a blessing and a curse this is

To feel so secure but insecure at the same time

I will protect you both until my dying breath

That's just how important home is to me
