The reasons why homes are so important to us

A house is built with wood and stone,a place to sleep,to be alone,It stand so tall with walls so wide,but leaves no warmth where heat resides.The floors are cold,the rooms are bare,a house has house has space but not a care,it has no voice,no sound,it’s just a place where you unbound. but a home,oh,a home is more it’s where you can make memories,have fun,a home is built with love and time,a quiet place where dreams can climb,it has your love,your joy,your pain,the small things that break every chain.A house may stand,unchanging,tall,but a home is life,it moves,it calls,it whispers softly through the night.A promise that all will be alright.Its the smell of dinner in the air,the creak of steps,a memory shared.A home,you see,it's not just a place,it's where you find your memory’s and family.a house may shelter you,but a home holds our story’s,both new and old.That’s why homes are so important to us.
