A House And A Home Are Not The Same Thing

A house may have a doorbell with ding dongs, but a home is a place where your heart belongs. A house is a place, but a home is where your stories are embraced. A home is filled with love in the air, but a house is bare only with chairs. A house may have furniture and walls, but that doesn’t mean you feel safe at all. A house is a place that but a home is full of family and love. A home is a place filled with love and laughter, but a house is loud with noises and clatter. A home is peaceful like a dove but a house is deprived of love. A house may have bedrooms and bathrooms, but a home is where you keep your family heirlooms. A house may have a roof, but a home has pets that go woof woof. A house can be grand and spectacular, but a home can be filled with lovely smells like lavender. A home is not a house and I think that needs to be clear. Everybody deserves a home weather that's a club, school, or friends and family. Everybody needs some place to feel safe.
