What home means to me

A house is just made of some walls. while a home is where you laugh and love. A house is what you pass on the street. A dining room is where you eat and say how you felt today. And a home is where I grew up and is filled with hope and dreams. A house is just made of some walls with a roof standing up tall. The basement is where I watch tv and do the laundry. A living room is where I sit and laugh and hold my dreams till they last. A house is where you sit and stare. A backyard is where I go out to play every day. A bathroom is where you get ready every night and morning. A kitchen is where you eat filling and loving food that spreads everywhere. A home is made of love and care while laughter fills the air. While a house is just made of some air with no one there. Your bedroom is where you sleep at night and sit and think what's going to happen next I wonder I think. My little sister's playroom is where we sit and play till the end of the day. A home is where there's magical things. And a house is just made of some shiny things. A home is not a house, a home is filled with memories and dreams. And that is what a home means to me.
