The Feeling of Home

By Lili Metanovic

One of a kind in a way that’s hard to explain.
Some bring noise; this brings calm.
The world slows,
and everything settles into place.

There’s comfort in the words that come so naturally,
that contagious laughter that feels safe,
and the quiet reassurance that everything will be okay.

Time apart feels heavier than it should,
like something irreplaceable is missing.
Pride fills the space left behind.
The pride in resilience with a heart that will never stop trying.

More than just a presence,
and more like a home,
the epitome of happiness, love, and peace.
