What is a Home?

Your house might be for a family in the suburbs, with a nice lawn, where you can play on the curbs. Or your house could be an apartment, in the city, a house beside buildings, though the inside is pretty. Your house could be big, tall, or grand, with a front porch and lots of land. Or maybe your house is a big red barn, with a garden and animals that live on the farm. You might have a house farther north in the mountains, a log cabin with a great view of your surroundings. Or perhaps you have no house at all, you travel the world, you “roam the hall.” But a home doesn’t need the best lawn or best trees, a home is where you should always be at ease. It doesn't matter if your neighbor has grass that's greener, so what if they have windows that are cleaner. A home has affection, love, and comfort, it has laughter, safety, and support. A house is built by a worker with boards and nails, but a home is built by you with love and tales. Where it is happy, welcoming, and warm, only then can you call it a home.
