What is a Home

A home is a sanctuary safe and warm, Each brick and stone will fight any storm, roof held high shingles lay strong whatever its facing will have to pass along. Metaphorically and true it will hold up just fine interior exterior and its hard-working spine. A home is not a building just as plain to see but a structure filled with love and positivity. The living room holds memories of laughter and spite as for the kitchen which shelters feelings of delight. Though the backyard is fluent for a place to escape its area filled with beauty where nature takes place. On the second floor upstairs the office sits,its room filled with wonder, curiosity and charm. Past the study, the bedroom awaits all cozy and restful; it’s hard to feel any harm. Last but not least, the best of both worlds: the balcony lies behind the stiff curtain. Looking down back at the world it feels like everything is for certain. Though this is the time where nostalgia takes place,fear and beauty; it’s hard to embrace. Beyond all that it is quite nice- from love to joy, it’s worth the price. A home is a shelter but not just any, its room has space for the more and the many. A house and home are quite different: one has walls, a roof, and a floor while the other holds feelings positive, true, and much more.
