A House Can Be A Home

A house is the place that protects you from the cold A house is a collection of furniture A house is made of bricks and wood But a house is in need of a family. A house with a family has people who care A house with a family has people who cooperate A house with a family can become complete A house with a family can grow. A house can become a home, A home is the smell of bread I made with my dad A home is the taste of my mom’s special meal A home is the sound of my sister laughing A home is the place where I feel loved. A home is something special A home is a landmark you can always come back to A home is somewhere safe A home is something we all should have. Yet still, A home is sometimes out of reach A home can collapse when left neglected A home without care can become unsafe A home can become just a house. But, Hard work can save a decaying home Building blocks of trust With love as glue you can start to repair With a solid foundation a house can become a home again, a habitat. A habitat provides shelter to the larger community A habitat provides necessities to all A habitat provides a sense of belonging With humanity, a habitat can provide a home.
