Home is Not a Place, it's a Feeling

A house is a place, filled with floors and walls, and its always complete with roofs and halls But a home is a feeling, warm and sweet, where family traditions are a treat. In my home, we celebrate lots, where on those days, we think happy thoughts We celebrate Nowruz, yelling with cheer, as we countdown the numbers ‘till it finally turns to the Iranian New Year. There are many other traditions we celebrate - like Christmas and Halloween, but there are many more, and I definitely can't forget about family movie nights. Home is where our story begins, and love never ends. Home is where love is, that flows everywhere around. My home has a lot of food, with divine smells and different kinds of uniqueness , salmon and rice, my favourite! Yum! My mom cooks our food with love - it's practically heaven! It’s countless how many delicious foods my mom cooks never underestimate my moms cooking! Houses dont have the love homes do, Instead, they have the perfectness that is not in the hearts of a home. A home does not have to be perfect, a home just needs the comfort, love, warmth and sweetness that people need. My home is blessed with joyful laughter in the morning, and sweet dreams at night. I hope yours is too! Home is where our story begins, and love never ends. Home is where love is, that flows everywhere around. Love, laughter, happiness and more is something that can not be found in a house, or anywhere else. Only a home can have something as special as those feelings. Thank you Habitat For Humanity for being so kind to build homes for the people that don't have any and restoring humanity in every community in Canada!
