Home vs House

What is the meaning of home? Isn't it just piles of wood or stone? No, it isn't. Not even close. A home and house are two different things. A house is a structure built with wood or stone . A home is a place where you build memories with your family. A house has a fixed place on the ground. A home has a place in your heart, staying with you all the time. A home is a feeling of love and strength, going on with an endless length. A house at some point, will get destroyed, but a home does not erode. A home can be for anyone and anywhere! You could be like a jellyfish, living in the deep sea. A home can be as you make it to be. You could be like an ant living underground. Your home can be one with no sound. A home has a caring family. A house is just a structure you see. A house can be a home of course, but building a home requires a special force. A house is not a home with a happy family, or a comfortable bed, or a feeling of security. Houses can change, but homes do not. The feeling and meaning of home stays with you until the end. To me it seems that everyone needs a soft bed, a happy family, and the feeling of a safe, wonderful home. What they need is a home, not just a house. A home is built with love and care, not with wood or stone.
