A House is not Home

A house is not a home. A house is a place of residence, A home is the memories we make. A house is replaceable, cement and wood, A home is not, its love and its genuine. A house is a building, not full of trust or kindness, A home is full of kindness and trust. A house is a place, a thing, A home is where we feel loved, cherished and safe. My home is loved by me and my family. Some people's houses are not. My home has everything I need - plumbing, electricity, cooling and heating. Some people’s houses do not. With this information, I have realized - and I hope you have too - that some people don't have this. Habitat for Humanity can give someone this.
