"Everyone wants happiness, no one wants pain, but you can't have a rainbow without a little rain."


A house is just a building;
We define a house as big
and small, ugly and cute,
spacious and cramped.


A house is just a building;
A building is just a frame with
Insulation, sheetrock
windows and doors.


A house is bland,
tasteless, and bitter.
To us, rooms are just...rooms.
A house is an empty book.


A home is part of us;
We define a home as
sacred and comfortable.
An abundance of feelings


A home is part of us;
A home is a place where rooms
Aren’t rooms just rooms,
They become stimulating, fertile thoughts


Your memories in your home
compile and rejoice with laughter
and sadness, they become compact
And keep your home standing.


A home is a full book.
Your own book.
Just for you.
What’s in it? That’s up to you...

I was inspired to write this piece because I feel that kids do not fully understand the true meaning of home. Your home does not need to be the place that you are currently living in. It is a place you feel comfortable and happy in. Your home could be the park, school, the beach ect...
