A Home and a House can be Different

My home is not just walls and a roof It is memories and love all over the house. A house is just a collection of rooms, but a home is a place where you can be yourself. A house is painted walls, stark and white But a home is where you celebrate achievements displaying them proudly for all to see. A house is a building that withstands the storm But a home is cozy, full of love, safety and warmth. A home is like a blanket wrapped around Full of warmth and trust. A house's walls can be empty But a home’s walls are filled with all the memorable photos of events never to be forgotten. A house is an empty building But a home has so much love that you can spread it like peanut butter and jelly on your toast. A house can look fancy on the outside for all your neighbors to see But a home is what happens on the inside and is where the real magic is. Thank you Habit for Humanity for creating houses that can be turned into homes full of love.
