What does 'Home' means to you

Post Reply New Topic

When I saw this thread my mind immediately started playing the country song from a few years back...

Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole
and the feel of a muddy row between my toes
Home was a back porch swing where I would sit
and Mom would sing Amazing Grace
While she hung out the clothes.
Home was an easy chair with my Daddy there
and the smell of Sunday supper on the stove
My footsteps carry me away
but in my mind I'm always going home
--Joe Diffie, Home

My personal definition:
The single location where, in a given time period, I sleep more nights than any other location. Often "where the heart is."

Home is where the hearth is. I have no home.
