What Home Actually Means

A house can be something appealing, But a home is where you can express what you’re feeling. In a house you can listen to a song, But a home is somewhere you feel you belong. In a house you can eat food, But food in a home sets you in the mood. A house is a place, A home is where you can lie down with grace. A house is a location, But when you’re home it feels like vacation. A home is more than a few walls, It's where you feel it truly calls. In a house you can run up and down the floors, But in a home you run around to do your chores. Even if you come from far away, Home is where you freely play. A home is where you know you’re one and only, Will lift you up when you feel lonely. And a home is where all your friends, Know the fun never ends.
