Meaning of Home

Here I am in my bed. I can see my tv. I can hear the rustling tree. I can smell pizza and I can taste apple pie. I feel comfy and safe and perfectly fine. Homes and houses are not the same. A home is a place filled with memories and a house is just a building. The most important thing about a home is feeling safe. Everyone deserves a home. No one should have to live on the streets or in the snow. The key to life is living in a home. If my home could talk it would say we're loud, and funny, weird and clumsy. It would say we're good cooks but not like Ramsy. We are good people, not the best. We make mistakes and mess up, but in a home mistakes are memories. Homes are in the heart, places to sleep, not in a shopping cart. There are places that are fun and places you can eat, best of all nothing to need. In my home there are many memories.. My best memory was getting a puppy. Homes are different then houses, homes have memories, houses are only buildings. I am lucky to have a home and here is why. I have shelter and food. I have a place to sleep and clean water. There are entertaining and boring places in a home but I'm still very lucky.
