House is not Home

A home is where my heart beats loud,a calming place away from the crowd. A home is where you can be yourself,you don't have to act like anyone else. it's where memories are made,and a place you won't feel afraid. home is the sound of footsteps on the stairs,and the quiet moments we love to share. home is a smile that greets the door, to welcome you forever more. It's the loudness of laughter, and the quiet of night, a place that just feels right. It’s where I laugh, and where I cry,The place I’ll never say goodbye. Home is the place that I can roam, A safe, sweet spot I call my own. There's rips in some books and paint on the wall, that's only because we're having a ball. The couch is cozy, the bed is warm,it's where you feel safe from the storm. A home is where you will probably get shoved, but remember you will always be loved. Its where the blankets feel just right, and we feel cozy through the night Home is where the flowers bloom,where butterflies fly and birds will zoom At night i´m cozy in my bed,dreams of adventure in my head. The kitchen smells of yummy treats,the living room has comfy seats Home takes my heart out of my chest,because I know my family´s the best. I know my neighbors were like best friends,but my family's love it never ends. With love and laughter all around home is where true happiness is found. Thank you habitat for humanity for building all those beautiful homes and giving someone else a place where they can feel all the things i just wrote.❤️
