East, west, home is the best
Houses are built with bricks and tiles,
Filled with some furniture like a bed or stove.
Home is built with happiness and smiles,
Filled with love and warmth from our families.
Houses are like a place you don’t know,
Like a rabbit that can't find its home.
But home is a place where you share memories,
Like funny moments all through your life.
Houses are just a building for accommodation,
That may be empty and full of loneliness.
But home is not just a building,
It is where you have a shoulder to cry on.
Houses are just a structure with walls and a roof,
Providing shelter for its habitants.
But home is a place with a strong sense of belonging,
Where you feel loved, cared and safe.
A house is like the landmarks you pass by on your journey,
You may stop, enjoy but you will eventually move on.
But home is your destination where your heart will always be,
Like tired birds returning to their nests.
A house can be purchased with money,
Like a product in a store.
But home can never be measured in terms of money,
Like how love and memories can’t be bought from a store.
No matter where you are,
No matter big or small,
No matter old or new,
We all call this one place with one word which is HOME.
