A Home And A House

A house is still, Stuck in one place. But a home can be anywhere, As long as there's love. A house can be bought, From a big, normal business,, With its walls and a roof, And normal, heated, air. But a home is true, To your family and you. It is made of love, Never to be lost. A house has a price, With numbers on their side. But a home is priceless, With laughter and joy flowing within. A house is bland, With jets of debts, Destroying your fun, With addiction and bets. But a home can be anywhere. Even a trash can. But as long as it gives you love, It's a beauty, nevertheless. A house had four corners, With a roof topping it off. But a home has something else, Laughter, joy, and love. A house can shield you Protecting you from disasters, But it is breakable and mistakeable Just for another chance. Though brand, and new, A house will never be good as a home. Though it may seem the other way around, A home is better, without a chance.
