Not 4 Walls

Home, “the place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household.”

We all know there is no singular definition of the word “home”.

Home can be comfort.

Home can be safe.

Home can be something or someone you embrace.

Beauty and grace.

Finding home is not a race.

My simple answer?

An immigrant from the challenging country of Vietnam.

She was stripped from her home in hopes for me to have a better one.

My home made multiple sacrifices,

With a complete absence of vices.

My home always made sure I had a roof over my flawed head and food on the table.

My home is a selfless person I could never imagine my life without.

I love my home, no doubt.

Ever since birth and even past the day I die,

I know home is wherever my mother resides.
