This is What Home is

Once upon a time there was a person who did not have a house but they had something else, something that is way more valuable than a house they had a home. A home is different from a house because a house is a shell for a home. A home is much more loving and full. Most people have a house but to the un-housed community a place that you might have seen is their home like a sidewalk, a home that they love, respect, and take care of. Something that is special about homes is that they are loving and with family and friends. At your home you can have fun like in my home where on New Years we play games till midnight and when family is over we play games like the Chameleon. In my home we all intertwine our lives and tell people what's happening. Home is also not just a place it is many feelings together like caring, loving, and supported. A home is the place that holds your life together. A home carries memories throughout your life that is where most are from. A house however may not be your house or home, but it could be someone's home. Remember to respect that. Through a house you can get a home if you just love it enough and decorate and have fun that house will become a home. That is home, a feeling that for me intertwines our lives together. Take that with a grain of salt because that's just what I think is the meaning of home.
