A house is an address In a lane or a street, But a home is where emotions and memories meet A house can be steady and tall, But a home is where comfort never falls A house is a building with bricks and wood But it's the love and warmth that makes it good A house keeps you warm during a storm But a home is where love can always form A house may be quiet with rooms full of space But a home is where laughter fills every place A house can be sold But a home has memories young and old A house is more than walls and roof It is where the heart finds truth A house may be clean and neat But a home is where life feels complete A house may have a door and a key But a home is where you always feel safe and free A house is made with hands but a home is made with love. In the end its not the house, it's the hearts that make it home. Dear,habitat for humanity Hi I wanted to thank you so much for this contest.I had so much fun writing my poem.Ive never really thought about what home means to me until I had to write about it,and it made me think how much i appreciate where I live and the people I share it with.I think it's amazing how you encourage kids like me to deeply think about the meaning of home.Thank you again for giving me this opportunity.It was so much fun!
