The Meaning of Home

My home is a place where the rest of the day is put aside. Yes,this is the place where I reside.In my home the rules I must abide. A new day always begins inside.In my home I know I’m safe.I don’t worry about termites worms or snakes.In other homes my worries race I can’t help but worry if this house is safe.NP What’s the difference between between a house and a home?I don’t know I can’t tell.Maybe it has something to do with the smell.In my home it smells like my mom’s coffee or tea.A house doesn't have that familiar smell.Maybe that is it .I just can’t tell.Perhaps it's got to do with the plants in my home.We have a flower that can’t be killed even though my mom’s quite skilled. It was for my mom’s birthday.My dad asked the clerk,”Can this plant be killed even if your skilled?”Now every time I look at it I can't help but laugh.Wait is this?It is it memories that makes a home a home my excitement grows and grows. This is the difference between a house and a home.
