This is Home

This is Home “A house is built with walls and beams, a home is built with love and dreams” - Ralph Waldo Emerson. A home has a beautiful view where one can dive into the sunset. Family and friends can be welcome with a knock on the door and share a friendly dinner. Many houses may have gates but in a home everyone is welcome. Home is a place filled with joy all the way to the top of the rim, an overflowing mix of happiness. A home is an amazing place even though it's more like a feeling. A house is a yard and a property, a home is a different world with endless places to explore all the way through the dream. Everyone deserves a home because it is a special place to go. Families who live on the street are able to survive, but they deserve to thrive. You get tucked into bed, a hug from your mom, a glass of milk from your dad, and you're off to a dream of light. It's your safe place, it's your amazing place, it's the place you call home.
