Answer 1

A home is a place of joy and delight,

A place of comfort and a place to be free,

A place of shelter and a place of light,

Where all your cares simply drift away.

When life gets hard and the world outside can be cruel,

There’s no better place to be than at home,

Where you can be surrounded by warmth and love,

Where your heart can be truly at peace,

and roam.

No matter how far away you may wander,

No place can ever compare to home,

Where memories are made and cherished forever,

And the sound of laughter will never roam.

For in the end,

no matter where you go,

There is no place more delightful than home.
