A Home is More Than Walls Can Say

A house is built of brick and stone, A place to sleep, a place alone. Its walls are tall, its roof is wide, A shelter where you can feel safe inside. But a home is more than walls can say, It’s where your heart begins to stay. A home is laughter, soft and bright, A space where love shines through the night. A house may have a door and key, But home unlocks your joy, sets you free. It’s where you find your deepest peace, A place where worries come to cease. A house may stand through storm and rain, But home will heal you from your pain. It’s warmth in winter, cool in heat, A place where broken hearts can meet. In a house, you’ll rest your head, But home is where your dreams are fed. It’s where your spirit comes alive, A place where you can truly thrive. So, while a house may simply be, A roof, four walls, and privacy, A home is where you’re meant to be A place of love and family.
