The Meaning of Home

A house can just be a place that you can live with grace, But a home helps make new memories that last for centuries. A house has beds, tables, chairs and stairs, But a home has a longing for you that you belong. A house has a kitchen that can be always be in good condition, But a home can make delicious food that can change your mood, A house has a bathroom for showers that you want to be in for hours, But a home has thoughts that can fill in the missing spots. A house has a yard for flowers that can grow as tall as towers, But a home has many meanings that are strong like feelings. A house has a bedroom that you sleep in and stuff animals you keep within, But a home is able to have many scenes that look like dreams. A house has a living room that can be small and have a wall, But a home is a place where you can feel the embrace A house has a basement where you might have a TV for entertainment, But a home has a space for you that you can’t replace. A house has a dining room where every food is shining, But a home is filled with joy and love that is like a peaceful dove. Even though not everyone has a home, they will surely find one just right for them where they belong.
