“Home”

Home Contest Non-Local Adult Honorable Mention
By Aarushi Agrawal / San Jose, CA
Home is where
The inner peace takes over mind.
Cement of love will
keep family members bind.
Home is where
The heart craves to return.
Fire of gripes and grudges
is often seem to burn.
Home is where
Empathy is must to survive.
Floors of pains and sorrows
not burnished but are skived.
Home is where
The discipline see, no neglect.
Facade of terms and house rules,
so robust to keep the members intact.
Home is where
We argue and we fight.
Windows of adjustments
will open to a delightful sight.
Home is where
Expectations are kept very low.
Garden of “forget and forgive everyone”
will often blossom and grow.Home is where
Respect is given to each one’s say.
Doors of discussion and communication
will keep the infliction at bay.
Home is where
Members have faith and support.
Walls of trust and fidelity strong stand
to hold the roof of rapport.
Home is where
The family happiness comes first.
Hinges of laughters and chatters
can never go squeak in rust.
Home is where
We always believe in the unity.
Blinds of blunders and mistakes are rolled down,
we brace to fend for familial dignity.
