Homes aren't always houses

Everybody loves houses. Houses are cozy, safe, entertaining, and comfortable. Houses are nice, but not everyone likes their home. This is because not everyone’s home is a house. There are people who live in the streets. That is their home. Asking for spare change when everyone is ignorant. Sleeping in trash cans of disgust. Wearing torn up clothes. No one deserves to be in this situation. Houses belong to everyone. That should be their home. If there are people who don’t have a family, sharing their house with a homeless family is a marvelous thought! It would solve several problems. Home. A safe place I share with my family. A happy, entertaining dream where I can sleep. The joyful area everyone deserves. That is what I think of home. If I were a dictionary, the definition of home would be alot more than a place where someone lives. I see home as its own country. Not as a house. What is YOUR meaning of home?
