House or Home
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...
