A house isn't a home

Well, you might know a house with walls and bricks, but a home is where your siblings play tricks. So a house has floors and doors, but a home has family trips to the stores. Houses have roofs above, but a home has so much love. So houses might have toilets and showers, but a home has family that are together for hours. A house had drawers but in a home everyone scores. In your house, you might have a shelf, but a home is where you can be yourself. In a house you feel alone, but in a home you’re known. A house has books but at home mom cooks. In a house you have to pay a fee, but in a home there is me. So, as you know, a home isn't a house. Thank you, habitat for humanity, for helping families in need!
