My Home Is Not A House

Some people presume that a house is just the same as a home, but to me it’s not. A home is morphosis, but a house is just four walls and a roof. In a house there's no feeling, in a house there’s no love. A house is just cold brick, wood, and stone. In a house there’s no feeling, but in a home there’s emotion, love, peace, and hope. In my home there’s music. Happy, sad, lonely, excited, nervous, hopeful, calming, safe, christian, funky, jazzy, kind, sweet, crazy, ridiculous, and awesome songs. Each person is an instrument. Eight different instruments in my family’s band, including my dog . But when we mix we make the best music, songs, and melodies. And my house is like the spotify app. And this spotify app is my house. But it contains our songs, our melodies. My home. This is why my home is not the same as my house or any house. And just for you knowing the reason why I wanted to do this writing is because I think that, no matter what, every person should have a home, not just a house. And so many times it’s hard to have a home and know it’s there if there’s no house because many people think that a house and a home are the same thing. Even though it’s not. Also I don’t care if I win because it’s not about that or me, even though it would be cool. It is to raise money for the people who can’t buy a house that suits their needs. So in the end I’m thankful for the choice to do this and I will always say yes to raising money for people. By, Vera From Portage la Prairie
