House and Home
Lots of people have a house,
Not a lot of people have a place that feels like home.
A house has people,
A home has love.
In a house you can feel the bricks on your wall,
In a home you can feel the love from others around you.
A house has a fireplace.
A home has warmth.
In a house I see a empty oven with nothing inside,
At home I see my family eating the cookies straight out of the oven.
A house is empty.
A home is full.
In a house I can hear the walls cracking,
At home I can hear fun and laughter coming from my family.
The house is quiet.
The home is loud.
A house puts a roof over my head,
A home protects me through the ups and downs.
A house keeps me dry.
A home keeps me protected.
In a house, someone is not always there to support me.
Me, Myself and I
In a home someone is always there for me and comforting me no matter what.
Mom, Dad, brothers, cousins.
I want Habitat for Humanity to help so many families out there have a place that feels like home.
Feel it. Cherish it. Love it.
