The Meaning of Home

A home is not a house. A home is a place that has family, and you are always feeling good and happy. A house is a place that has been built by machines and construction workers. A home is a place that is made by your mind. A home for you could be the park or the field or maybe even the school, but a home is not a building -- it is a place in your mind. A house may be comfortable or big, but a home is better. A home is a place that is both at the same time and better. A home is the best place that you think is in the world. A building is not a home; it is touchable but a home is not. Your home might be better than others but everybody has a different point of view. Some people think that home is a place that has a great view or a place that is by the sea or a place that is in the middle of nowhere. A home is a place that can be filled with joy but a house can be filled with trash. A home is clean, but a house can be dirty. A home is filled with memories, but a house is a place that is filled with things that you might not need. A home has everything that you need. I hope you liked reading about what home means to me.
