Home is Where my Home Is

The average human has two hands, two arms, and two legs, but only one heart. That's because the heart has many different parts and the home is sometimes part of that heart. Some people have two homes, some have one, and others have none. But if they have none there’s less in their heart but if they have one, their heart gets bigger with more in it. They feel more safe, more loved, and more protected. A home doesn't have to be a big fancy mansion or a house by the beach. It can be a place with your family and friends running around. A house is just a place where you live, but a home can be four walls around you with a roof over your head, with memories scattered; some are good and some are bad, but that's just home.
