home

[sarah_j_powell]

i love the comfort of the glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling in my bedroom.
i love looking out into the miniture lake in our backyard.
i love hearing the faint sound of the tv,
knowing my mom is drifting into sleep.
i love the deep roar of the movie my father is watching in the basement.
i love the feeling of being home
even if it is for only 3 hours.
home never changes. at least, not right now.
