Week 1 - Home

Home Sweet Home -
Home is where the heart is;
Home on the range (so the song goes)
There's no place like home (so I've heard).

As someone who has been home this past year;
I can tell you my home is a box
Crowded with stuff that isn't used
And there's barely room to move.

I'm grateful for this box
Don't get me wrong;
It's just that being cooped up
Makes it unbearable at times.

I look forward to the day
I don't have to stay cooped up any longer;
Then I may be able to once again say,
Home is where the heart is.
