H

Happiness, hope, and honesty,

fill the place that I call home.

Hugs and help surround me,

no matter where I go.

Harmony and heartfelt honor

mixed with sincere humility.

Lovely humorous hearts,

make these humans dear to me.

O

Occasionally one may see fit,

to verbalize observations made.

Other occupants object,

to opinions openly opaque.

Once otherwise peaceful onlookers,

become obstinate and ornery pests.

But, love for one other overcomes

and openness eventually outlasts.

M

Multiprocessing the magnificent measure-

of my modestly made lineage.

I ponder at the multilayered masterpiece of family.

Motivating me meticulously,

with effortless grace and ease,

moving me from moments of mediocrity.

E

Everyone of us grows, evolving emotionally.

Eventually encapsulating the extraordinary souls, we’re meant to be.

Each experience engaged with established expectancy,

reminds us nothing equals to our home and family.

May you always feel at home, in the skin that you are wearing. May you always feel love and acceptance with the ones in life, that you are sharing. May you grant the same to strangers that you meet along your way, remembering that home is anywhere that your heart stays.
