Houses vs Homes

vs

Houses has windows, bedrooms and doors,

a home has food, love and much more.

A house has a kitchen, a balcony and a garage,

a home has a family who keeps it warm.

The house has walls, lights and closets

but a home has a father, children and a mother.

Maybe a grandpa,  a grandma or an uncle

but the house could be empty with no one to mumble.

to keep it cozy,  to respect and to play

to care for one another, to hug and to share.

To fulfill empty spaces with loving care

to communicate, to dream and have God there!
