Bricks and Sticks Versus Memories

A house is just bricks and sticks But a home is where your memory clicks In a home you have all your needs And in a house you have all your structural needs A home is where your worries go away And your memories stay at bay A house is just a structure, and a home Is where your memories are in a cluster A home to me is with my mom and dad A place where I can't get sad Home is a place where I am loved so dearly A place where nothing is eerie When I am near my mom and dad, that is home And a house has a garden gnome A home is with my family and where all the memories and love are A house just has a car My home is a safe place where I don't have to go at a fast pace A house is just stuff to make a structure might just be a cluster A place where my parents cook And a home is where love won't be shook. Thank you, Habitat for Humanity, for giving people a structure So their memories can start to cluster. Thank you for listening to my poem About the difference between a house and a home.
