A Home for All

Frost looks at her lovely house. `A house is built with walls and beams, but a home is built with love and dreams.` She mumbles to herself. Her brother walks into the room. "Are you okay?" Mradion asks, sitting on the bed. "School has been hard recently," Frost replies. "I'm lucky we have a roof over our heads". "Yup! Not only does it protect us, but also the kindness in our house makes it safe" Mradion says. He flops on the bed as he spreads his arms out, covering the entire mattress. Frost joins him on the bed, and they both laugh. They play on the bed for hours. This is why everyone needs a home. For love, care, and shelter. Everyone deserves a place to stay. For many, 'House' means a building. 'Home' means the same thing. To me, home means life. Home shelters people, and protects them from harm. It also provides love and kindness. So make a home, for all to have, all to love in, and to have a family. This is the Meaning of Home.
