Not all houses are homes

My home means a lot to me You may think a home has to be a house But there’s a difference A house can have lights at night A house can be a huge building of white But nothing compares to a HOME A home isn’t just bricks and tiles It’s much more A home can be gentle and friendly A home can be sweet like candy In my home, I will never be alone I will always feel Safe and loved BUT in a house It’s only where you live In my home I find Kindness But in a house it can feel cold and dark In my home I can learn to be me and love me for who I am A home can be anywhere And mine is in my HEART Thank you, Habitat for Humanity for making homes and supporting the community.
