A Place Called Home

A home is no different from a house, it’s a place where love and memories are able to sway about. But a house has walls and rooms all pale blank, with wooden beams, floors and white planks. A home is free for everybody from A - Z, the only place where family and loved ones are set free. But a house will have costs, a cost where it takes more than love, so some families are lost. A home is a factory of memories, A place where family still notices you when you aren't seen for centuries. But a house has modern gray walls with no picture frames in sight, with dark black walls absorbing the pure sunlight. A home peers at you while you sleep, it watches and helps you watch the stars and count your sheep. But a house without love and family to stay, you will find it harder to sleep and lay. A home will never cease your dreams, instead it takes them and heals its mighty seams. But a house makes it harder to achieve your goals, if there aren’t family and friends to help mend its holes. A home doesn’t need fancy looks, it only needs love and memories to be sealed in every nook. A house is easy to turn into home, it just needs love, memories and family to spray like foam. There is no other place called home.
