Am I home yet?

Home

Home is warm

Home is tight

Home the heart beat I hear

Home is the little sounds

Home is comforting

Home is loving

Home is nurturing
Home is positive

Home is trustworthy

Home is loving

Home is unconditional 
Home is a blessing
Home is joy
Home is kind
Home is caring
Home is open minded
Home is accepting

Home is my mom

My mom is my home

She makes it home

Home isn't a place to me its my mom

Home is when I lay on her and hear her heart beat

Home is when I smell her freshly baked cookies

Home is sneaking into my moms bed to talk

Home is when she is playing with my hair while I'm dozing off

Home is hearing her laugh with my siblings

Home is craziness

Home is a free spirit

Home Is independent

Home is always there for me

Home has always been there for me

Home is far away from me now

But soon ill be home

Soon ill see my best friend

my mom and my home.

My mom was home when I had noonelse
My mom was my home when I needed her
I always need a home
My physical home has been broken
My heart has been broken
But at home I am complete
 

Home is somewhere else
Home is where I wish I was

Home is what I miss the most

Home is far
Home isn't home without my mom
My mom lives across the country but when I see her I will be at home
I will be at home in her presence 



uh-LIH-suh

ALYSSA

Alyssa pronounced uh-LIH-suh
Thats how I like it and thats whats proper right?
alot of people get it wrong
My parents say it wrong to me they say it
more like uh-lee-siii-uhhh
if they wanted to name me that they should of spelled it
differently maybe more like Alissia or Elisa I don't know
Alyssa happens to be a popular name
actually it was the most common name of 1995
and of course that's the year I was coming into this world

I discovered other Alyssas starting in preschool
And throughout elementary school there was other Alyssas
I was always labeled Alyssa M.
I hated that
M M M M M M
for six years !
Then I met my best friend...
also an Alyssa
We became " THE ALYSSAs
  My name follows me
THE ALYSSAs happened to cheer together
be and her are always together
our names became our title as friends

I have a love hate relationship with my name
I love why I have my name:
My great grandma Elissia"Alice" Gomez
My parents tried to combine the names
It was a good gesture and they thought it would be different
They thought wrong....but its okay

The name Alyssa comes from alyssum which is a flower
When you think about it, its nice to say
Yeah my name comes from a flower.
Flowers to me represent beauty
I like that
I hope I reflect beauty inside and out just like the flower
