Best At Home Poem by Doreenda Nikoi Kotei

BEST AT HOME
I had all my award-winning dance at home!
In front of my bedroom mirror,
In front of my bathroom glass door,
In front of my glass windows,
Where no one was eagerly watching,
That's where I dance Chinese, Indian, Egyptian, Mexican and the Zulu!
There's no place like home!

I mastered all my favorites songs at home!
While doing the laundry,
While making dinner,
While babysitting and while gardening,
While taking a shower and while getting dressed up!
I could do the Pop, Raggae, Jazz, Blues, Classicals and the Afropops!
There's no place like home!

I had my best worship moments at home!
I prayed in the good and bad times,
My silent prayers while preparing for exams,
My highest praise while graduating from school,
My largest offerings while going for job interviews,
My deepest fast while in the emergency room and while walking down the aisle!
There's no place like home!

I excelled in all my exams at home!
Always had good quality time to study,
Made researches tobover assignments and projects,
Ask all the best and hardest questions at home,
Spent the night to burn the midnight candles!
My home has brought the finest best out of me!

I enjoyed all the crazy fun times at home!
Playing hide and seek with my sidings,
Running in the neighborhood shouting here and there,
Cheating little ones and promising them lies,
Farting and farting like it's no one's business!
Dressing for girls, catching butterflies and playing in the rain! Nothing can take the place of a home!
