Always Home Sweet Home

A young man was thinking about the true meaning of home

So, he contemplated the various meanings throughout the land

They all are great meanings, so he was told

But he wanted to know the true meaning; yes, this one young man

The meaning of home can be many different things

Each person conceiving his or her definition for their choice

Reflecting on their knowledge, trials, and tribulations of home

Reminiscing of their visits home and all those times to rejoice

The young men sat down to ponder each meaning of home

Although he had one favored in his mind

It is for home, always home sweet home

Everyone feels good when they go home from time to time

First, he gave a thought of a building as home

A place decorated in religious artifacts many made of gold

Surrounded by numerous stained-glass windows

The colorful glass that shelters us from the cold

To some, home is the Church a place for ritual fellowship

Coming together to bask in our faith and our love

To worship our belief and share it with our fellowman

Which enables our souls to ascend to the heavens above

So, when the call is for a home to be of a spiritual nature

A glorious home that has reverence; the house of our god

It is for home, always home sweet home

That home for all of us in the days of our lord

Next, he gave a thought of a feeling as home

The emotions we identify to express how we feel

While always keeping our thoughts logical and rational

And clinging our sanity to distinguish what is really real

To some, home is a near and dear feeling

A variety of moods; numerous many directions we could go

There’s happiness, sadness, disgust, fear, surprise, and anger

All are home and while experiencing an emotion, we know

Rekindling the sensations that make us swell with pride

It is for home, always home sweet home

Next, he gave a thought of a person as home

An intellectual individual to talk to when things go wrong

That confidant that always reminds us of home

That person whose aura may live forever in someone’s song

To some, home is a very influential person

A mentor, an idle, a person to whom we confide

Always meeting and matching all the rules to life

Yet always having something to hide

So, when the call is for a home to be our foundation

Giving us self-confidence; making us fight for our dream

It is for home, always home sweet home

That home for all of us that is a member of our team

Next, he gave a thought of a city as home

A large human settlement of many types of people

With nooks, crannies, and back alleys

To each business, house, and church with a steeple

To some home is a city; the backdrop to our lives

Our borough; the home where we were born

The home that allowed us to learn about life

Until we spread our wings and toot our own horn

So, when the call is for a home to be a homy place

A spacious dwelling that allows us room to grow

It is for home, always home sweet home

That home for all of us that we will always know

Next, he gave a thought of a town as home

Our hat quint village with all of its’ suburban growth

A small settlement that is sometimes called a city

A home we’re willing to die for, due to a solemn oath

To some home is a town of connecting communities

The home we visit that houses our family and friends

Where we cultivated most of our relationships

Of people whose part of our lives until the world ends

So, when the call is for a home to be a lived-in place

A home that enables people to live close

It is for home, always home sweet home

The place we find the people we love most

Next, he gave a thought of a street as home

The public thoroughfare in any city or town

Where we’ve walked, talked, and shared blissful moments

When most people are sleeping and the sun has gone down

To some home is a street; the blacktop to our lives

Where a boulevard is a part of the neighborhood

Taking us where we want to go

To those endearing memories of home that’s good

So, when the call is for a home to be a comfortable place

The home where there are sidewalks in front of every house

It is for home, always home sweet home

That home for all of us where suspicion is never aroused

Next, he gave a thought of a pet as home

Domesticated companions that share their unconditional love

Unselfish friends that run to us for food, water, and fun

A family member who can find shelter in a baseball glove

To some home is a pet; a comfortable friend

There are cats, dogs, hamsters, rabbits, and fish

Some catch frisbees, fetch sticks and balls

While expressing loyalty for receiving sustenance in a dish

So, when the call is for a home to be humanizing

Who shares love, obedience, and gratitude for our soul

It is for home, always home sweet home

That home for all of us making our world better as we grow old

Next, he gave a thought of a meal as home

Two four-letter words that contribute to our health

So, be we’re connoisseurs of Italian, Indian, Chinese, or French

Home can be a good meal regardless of our wealth

To some home is a meal; something that tastes delicious

For Vegans, Vegetarians or Carnivores; the lovers of meat

Remember, nothing says home like a home-cooked meal

Prepared by ma or grandma and served with love to eat

So, when the call is for a home for foodies to enjoy

Nutrition that makes our bodies healthy and strong

It is for home, always home sweet home

That home for all of us where our appetites belong

Finally, he gave a thought of home as just home

The four-letter word that some are many people will say

Is a word that has various connotations, a versatile word

And I’m sure they like it that way

A home is a habitat that allows us to adapt to life

And all the many things that make life so grand

Remember, there is good and bad in everything in life

And I ‘m sure this is true of the home of any man

So, when the call is for a home to be personal

A part of our lives regardless of how much time pass by

It is for home, always home sweet home

That home for all of us; that comfort zone for you and I

The young man now had to analyze his thoughts

And he knew that all the words that were said are true

A light shined on him to show him the clarify the meaning of home

And if you are lucky you might get to see it too

The young man knew home is a versatile word in the world today

Because the word has many meanings stored in a mind

However, the heart is the organ that should define a home

The heart gives the purest definition each and every time

Home must be a sacred place of solace

That sacred place that’s a safe haven in every community

I’m now at home and I’m always going to be home

For home is that home that means everything to me
