Home is Different from a House

A home has a heart. A house has a door. Home provides safety. Just a house without a family shows no memories or art. Big families, big houses are oh so sweet. But a house has nowhere to relax your feet. A home is kind with every family member so sweet. Houses are built with care but with no love in the air. Core memories are made in a home not a house. A house is dark and grey. Home is happy in every single way. My home is lovely and safe too, I hope everybody has a safe and loving home. Everybody's home should be true. A house is unsafe with nervousness galore. But at home you can relax on the floor. I like my HOME you should too. Here is the heart of this poem: A home is not made in a day it's made with kindness, courage and time in every way!
