Roofs May Fade But Love Remains

Houses and Homes; sounding the same. Although unseen, the differences remain. Houses; plain structures with bare walls and roofs; Homes; with family & Love & Laughter and Joy. Roofs may fade but love remains; Your house may be replaced, get a new window or door, But a home, the laughter and joy will always stay deep in your heart. Friends and Family, Pets and Love Walls and Stairs, Windows and Doors Habitat for Humanity, one organization Big changes Giving people without homes One they can call their own. People who need a house But can make it their home. Feeling the Happiness with your family Tasting the foods that leave unforgettable memories Seeing the smile on your family’s faces Smelling the candles that are placed in the living room With the faint glow of light that candles produce Hearing the vibrant sound of classical music in the background A house may be a mansion but without the warmth of your family and sense of belonging It may be as bare and empty as an abandoned house.
