Making a house a home

Its in the details. Anyone can have a house but it takes work to make a home. Here is to the celebration of the life you breathe into your home.

What is a house?
It’s brick and stone
and wood that’s hard.

Some window glass
and perhaps a yard.

It’s eaves and chimneys
and tile floors
and stucco and roof
and lots of doors.

What is a home?
It’s loving and family
and doing for others.

It’s brothers and sisters
and fathers and mothers.

It’s unselfish acts
and kindly sharing
and showing your loved ones
you’re always caring.
