Home is Where The Heart Is

Do you know what the difference is between a house and a home? A house is a place where only you can roam. A home is a place where memories are made. Where your family always rushes to your aid. Sure, a house is tall like a mall. But a home is special, like when a baby first crawls. Maybe a house is gigantic and lean. Actually, a home is tidy and clean. I’ll admit that a house is fancy and fashioned from stone. But I’ll tell you something you’ve never known. The heart of a house is made out of stone. Except the heart of a home is made out of life. Each house may be alive. Yet a home has hope inside. Of course a house might whine. On the other hand, a home is moonshine. A house may have humongous rooms and toys. A home has happiness and joy. A home is welcoming, approving, helping, and other things too. A house is cold, unwelcoming, uncomfortable, and screams ‘Boo’! Houses and homes are very different indeed. But both are something humanity are in need. Though you know a home is better. It is only fair to say that indeed a home is better than a house. Houses have binds. Homes have kindness. Just like no humans, animals, or insects are the same. No homes or houses are the same. What would you pick:a house or a home? Homes are peaceful and cozy. Houses are stiff and nosy. Sometimes both are dull. Every home is respectful. Every home is different. Every house is sad and gray. Every house you see could ruin your day. A home is where the heart is. THE END
