Home is
written by: Embee Riley
Home is where the heart is
When life is at its hardest
Home is feeling safe
Without a hiding place
Home is finding peace
While sleeping on the streets
Home is standing in the rain
Praying to wash away your pain
Home is the slowing of their heart
After sickness has torn them apart
Home is finding your son alive
After he found a building
And took a nosedive
Home is surviving a heart attack
And choosing to take your life back
Home is losing everything
And knowing you still have something
Home is relief
Home is release
Home isn’t just your love for others
Home is others loving you
