A Home

The meaning of home is not a house. A house is a building with walls and a roof. A home is a place where you can feel safe. A house has bright flashy lights, A home is where light comes from hearts and is full of happiness... A house has a roof and walls. A home has sunlight and space. During the night, houses are black and grey. But homes have night stars and the moon. Homes can be different things. Schools, allies or streets. A house may have glass bricks and walls but homes are safe and warm with love. A house can be a home and a home can be a house but a home does not have to be a house. At the end of the day a house is just a modern building but a home is a place with endless tranquility. Joy, tranquility. Thank you Habitat for Humanity for inspiring me to write this.
