"As long as I can remember, For all my spirits days, All of my journeys have been roads home to You."

Home Is?

Home is not where you live but where they understand you. ~Christian Morgenstern

Home is a place not only of strong affections, but of entire unreserve; it is life's undress rehearsal, its backroom, its dressing room. ~Harriet Beecher Stowe

Every house where love abides
And friendship is a guest,
Is surely home, and home sweet home
For there the heart can rest.
~Henry Van Dyke

Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to. 
~John Ed Pearce

Home is a shelter from storms - all sorts of storms. ~William J. Bennett

Home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence. It is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear in self-defense, and where we pour out the unreserved communications of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out without any sensation of awkwardness and without any dread of ridicule. 
~Frederick W. Robertson
