My Home Isn't a House

My home is where I feel safe. A house is oh, just a place. My home has so much more, but a house? There's no lore. My home with love that fills the air. A house has such random stuff everywhere. A house with clothes you find in a drawer. But in my home, different feelings when I step through the door. My home with people that make me feel loved. A house where you see a diamond dove. My home isn't a house. A house with your own arcade. But in my home, so many memories are made. A house is a place with different stuff. But my home is a place that always has enough. A house is a place where you might see a magician. But my home is a place where we have special traditions. Such a pleasant aroma when I enter my home. In a house, you might just feel alone. A house has four walls and a roof over your head. But my home is where "I love you" is said. A house where you could probably build forts. But in my home backyard, we play sports. A house you perhaps have rented. But my home is where I feel defended. A house may have millions of toys. But my home, how it fills me with joy. My home isn't a house. My wish is for everyone to have a home.
