A House Is Not A Home

A house is a place with four or six walls. A house is a place with windows. A house is a place with strangers you do not know. A house is a place where you cannot be your true self. A house is a place where everyone is rude and fights all the time. Now let me tell you what a home is. Because I used to live in a house and You are truly lucky if you have a home. A home is a place with four or six walls filled with love. A home is a place with windows that you can look out at the sunrise with your family when you wake up. A home is a place with your family. A home is a place you can be your true self. A home is a place where everyone is happy and loves each other. Thank you, Habitat for Humanity, for giving families a chance to make a house a home.
