Warm hugs

Where you can sing at the top of your voice

Whisper stories inside forts

Chase shadows between the trees

Count the muddy paws

Loose the night listening to the rain drops fall

While resting your head

Sail away to dream land

Chase the monsters from under the bed

Be unselfishy selfish

Laugh until it hurts

Long for Friday to come

So you can spend time away from work

Watch junk while eating it

Wipe away the tears

Bubble baths and pyjamas

Consoling all their fears

Building imaginations

Shaping little minds

Running round like lions

Seeing what treasures we can find

Autumnal walks and summer strolls

Getting cosy with a cocoa

Pumpkin picking and trick or treat

Making angels in the snow

Twinkling lights and Christmas trees

Christmas songs and crafting fun

Festivities and celebrations

Nervously excitingly waiting for Santa Clause to come

Lie ins on a Sunday

Snuggles and nose kisses

Bumping down the stairs on bums

Finding fairies in the garden to take away our wishes

Wondering the ifs and what's

Like why do I yawn just after you?

Finding out the answers

And other things along the way too

Family and friendships

Adventures and memories

The good times, the smiles

And the bad that no one sees

A warm hug on a dark day

A place where time sees you grown

All these things and so much more

That's what I call home
