Not A House

A house is a thing that’s bought from people who don’t try but a home is made especially for you and people can’t buy. A house may be big with a door and red paint too, but a home is a place where it’s just made for you. A house may have jewelry like red ruby that reflects light, but a home doesn’t need that to shine very bright. A house is like paper very weak and can rip, bend, and fold, but a home has love that’s strong like shiny diamonds or gold. A house is like a dark cloud, you can only feel fear and bad, but a home is like an emoji you can feel all emotions even mad. A house may have big stuff and make you feel like less, But in a home, you control everything even make a mess. A house feels so empty just four corners and rooms, but a home has so much love that always blumes. A house may be big but very sad and lonely, But a home is small but has always had love close. A house is so uncomfortable you may shed a tear, but a home is so comfortable that you never fear. Thank you Habitat for Humanity for thinking about their homes. Thank you for giving them a place that’s like their domes. Thanks for telling me homes are special and won’t leave like stones
