Home<br />

It’s the bakery I would go to for the perfect after-school snack<br />

It’s the library that started my reading addiction<br />

It’s the parks where my mum warned me about creepy men<br />

It’s the shopping centre I’d walk to a million times<br />

Home<br />

It’s the path where I fell off a skateboard and injured my head as a teen<br />

It’s the elderly neighbour who would always wave<br />

It’s the high school where I sat on the oval laughing with friends<br />

It’s the hidden rooftop where I smoked my first cigarette<br />

Home<br />

It’s the 802 bus that I take each morning to get to uni<br />

It’s the place I got my first summer job<br />

It’s the hours spent studying at Matheson<br />

It’s my favourite cafe, where I celebrated my 21st<br />

Home<br />

It’s the tree I walked past everyday, now wondering how it got so big<br />

It’s the neighbour’s young kid who now stands taller than me<br />

It’s the footpaths I walked miles in, not knowing one day it might be my last<br />

It’s the first place I ever called home<br />

Home<br />

It’s the times spent laughing with friends<br />

It’s the firsts, the lasts and the in-betweens<br />

It’s the place of good news and bad<br />

Home<br />

It’s knowing my time is limited, that this place will no longer be home<br />

And as I leave home for one last time<br />

It’s knowing I’m headed off to a better place<br />

Home<br />

It’s a place of memories<br />
