What Is a Home

All my life I have wondered,
What is a home,
A place where you are protected,
A model house from a magazine,
A comfortable environment,
Where you can sit back,
Gaze at the stars,
Human conversation caring and delightful,
Relatives who live with you,
A wonderful blessing from God,
Fashions and hairstyles respected,
Just to be yourself within the parameters of logic,
Education progressive and reverent,
Where you have a door to your house that locks.
