Not Just A Home
A home might look bad on the outside
but it has a bundle of joy on the inside
but, a house looks nice on the outside
but it's just bedrooms and stairs on the inside
A home is like I am on a vacation in Peru
with my cousins and family
and a house is where I feel scared.
A home is where I can express my feelings
but, a house is where I keep my feelings in
A home is where I am free
playing with my family monopoly
but, a house is where I have to follow the rules
After a long hockey tournament,
a home is where I feel warm with hot chocolate and cuddles.
but, a house is where I am cold and lonely
With no warm drinks and loved cuddles
A home is a bright star and a loved heart
it’s a place where I can shine and feel loved
but a house has only a star
that is buried out and a heart that is broken
A home is where I play fun games
but, a house is where I am bored
Playing by myself
A time I felt truly at home was when I celebrated Halloween
My favourite candy and presents made me feel extra special and loved
A home for me is like an open book
filled with stories of my life like when I learned how to ride a bike
or when I celebrated orthodox easter with my cousins.
A house is a book with empty pages
with no stories to share
If my home could speak,
it would say, calm down and enjoy these moments of your life
but, if a house could speak
it would be on mute
Home smells like a clean scent of deodorant
because people are cleaning and cooking
but, a house wouldn’t have a scent
because there would be no people cooking or leaning
My home is filled with people
watching TV playing rough games of hockey, and doing their work.
Even if a house has a TV and furniture, it is broken because there’s no love.
You need love, memories, and joy to make a home
