Meaning of Home

A house smells like different types of aromas as I walk around and roam, But a home smells like my mom’s cooking as soon as I enter through the door, A house feels like comfortable couches, blankets, and beds, But a home is a place where I can peacefully rest, A house sounds like creaky floorboards and creaky stairs, But a home sounds like laughter, happiness, and peace, A house looks like fancy paintings, plants, and more, But home looks like memories from when you were a young toddler, My home makes me feel many different emotions and it always reminds me of memories. Thank you, Habitat of Humanity, for building houses for people and giving them the opportunity for them to make it their home.
