Home is where you hang your hat
Are greeted by your pussy cat
Where every thing around in view
Is really just a part of you
There’s nothing like your comfy bed
A place to rest your sleepy head
A peaceful haven so it seems
the source of all your wondrous dreams
when seated in your old armchair
you feel relaxed and free from care
and wonder why you ever roam
from this heaven you call home.

I love the way this reads, as the rhythm and rhyme are amazing. I also lover the "comforts of home" message here. There surely is nothing like the safety and security one feels in their own space called home. Thanks so much for entering. Blessings, Patty

Good write, this had a nice flow. I liked the part about the cat. That's what makes me happy when I come home, my cat is really friendly and runs up to the door as soon as I come home. Good luck in the contest.
