The Difference Between a House and a Home

Seeing the bright red handle on a shimmering door gives the feeling that this is where I belong. But while a house is built for people to live in, a home is where a family is created. A home is a place where love can spread, A place to share emotions in a warm cozy bed. In the cities or on the farms, I feel at home in my family’s welcoming arms. A house has four colorful walls and a pointy roof. That's just on the outside, but there's something new. A home is where family and friends reunite And also a place to rest my head at night. It is always exciting to travel and explore, But when I get home, it is my bed that I adore. Home has the nice feeling of joy Around all the chaos of a brand new toy. Everyone can help their community, including you. That's what Habitat for Humanity does and that's true!!
