My Home

by Lauren Kane

Loud laughs echo across the hardwood floor

A warm blue room that had once been my own

The gorgeous red leaves that I’ve seen before

That is what awaits me when I get home

My sister just loves her bright hazel eyes

It matches my mother’s who she adores

But contrasts to my dad’s, blue as the sky

That are just like mine, reflecting vigour

But despite the look that makes up that place

More gorgeous than what can be told in words

The thing I miss most, that look on my face

When I’m in my favorite part of the world

Four of a kind, we just fit like a glove

Just joy emits with the people I love
