A Home is Different Than a House

A house has four walls. A home has no halls. A house has a roof. A home doesn’t need proof. People think a house should be big… Not true. A home can be any size. A house has chairs and beds. A home is a place where memories are made and fun times are played. A house can be empty. A home has a family. A house is furnished. A home is cozy. A house you can buy. A home you can’t multiply. Now that you know that a home and a house are not the same. Yes, they have a similar name. A two-letter difference. So what’s the reference? Are a home and the house the same? Yes, they have some things that make us think they are the same. But the truth is a home and a house are totally different things. A house is just a space, and a home is where I belong, feel safe and happy! The end.
