A house that I call home by Mya Connolly
A house that I call home by Mya Connolly
A house is made of beams and walls
A home is made of dreams and trophies from playing ball
On a shelf with photo frames
You see it's not just a shelter for when it rains
From basketball nets to garden gnomes
This is the place I call home
A house is made with a ceiling and floors
A home is made with a dog who is not with us anymore
He is always in our hearts along with
Grandma’s homemade butter tarts
A place where I never feel alone
This is the place I call home
A house will have a roof but
A home will have your hard working proof
Of the homework that you hate
And a container of what once was old fish bait
Using a hairbrush as a microphone
This is the place I call home
A house is a structure
A home is a place with your families culture
This place is different like no other
Popcorn with melted warm butter
A full bowl of cereal maybe Honey Combs
This is the place I call home
Now I hope you know
How a house is different from a home
It’s different for everyone though
But everyone should have a house
That they call home
