Home

When I couldn't speak, you understood it all

When I couldn't walk, you carried me with love

When I didn't know why I was crying, but you always did

When I didn't know what emotion was, but knew about love

Mom, you were my home

When I fell from my bike, but you cheered me up

When I missed my bus, yet reached school on time

When I said I liked a fruit, and saw boxes of it the next day

When mom refused to give me money, but you slipped me some anyway

Dad, you were my home

When you blamed the broken vase on me, just to get me into trouble

When you ate my hidden chocolate, just out of spite

When you told me I was adopted, just to make me cry

When you found out a boy hit me, just to find him with a black eye the next day

Brother, you were my home

When you asked me to give that letter to a boy, cause you couldn't do it yourself

When you told your parents you were with me, cause you had a date with him

When you threatened a guy, cause he had teased me

When you listened to the overdramatic me, cause you knew I was hurt

My friend, you were my home

When I got an apartment, and made it my own

When I started working, and found a friend in a coworker

When I realized the importance of family, and never went a day without calling them

When I made a second family, with the friends that stood by me

I made my own home
