The meaning of home

The meaning of home is hidden in this text Read it thoroughly; figure out what happens next. The house is a building on the neighbourly street Nothing inside, it didn’t feel complete. The chairs and the tables were it’s only friends Sometimes they would back out from him. For 7 straight years he felt alone For no one could call this place a home. A few weeks later, an offer called in . When the people moved in, he felt complete But he was still missing another piece. The house was quiet, not a noise They had to go, they didn’t have a choice. Family two was better than most To celebrate the house, they raised a toast. The children laughed and played all day The house loved them and he wished they’d stay. The father took care of the yard Planting flowers and fruits to match his wife’s car. The mother loved to clean the house Sometimes she would find a dead mouse. At the end of the day, when the moon shines bright That's when the parents say goodnight. As the parents start their slumber The house begins to wonder. The children have a place to play They also laugh and dance all day The parents have a place to talk Nothing like a neighborhood walk This family has a house where they’re free to roam Now this house has turned into a home.
