I’ve been living in the same house for over a year now, and although it hasn’t exactly felt like a home to me, I’m grateful for the opportunity to live in a spacious place.
In this house, there is a
Roof over my head.
A comfortable bed to sleep in.
Carpets to keep my feet warm.
A restroom to stay hygienic.
Clean water to shower
And drink.
Electricity to give me light, heat,
And power.
A kitchen to cook.
Enough indoor space to
Move around.
A bedroom window to see the sunrise
& hear life beyond these walls.
Enough outdoor space to
Enjoy the fresh air.
A garage to store my additional
Luggage and belongings.
This house may not be a home,
But it provides more than
Enough features to meet
My everyday needs.
This house may not be a home,
But I can sleep peacefully and
Safely each night.
This house may not be a home,
But it shelters me from
Harsh weather and
Danger lurking outside.
This house may not be a home,
But I am grateful for living in it.
A home...
For a long time, I believed
That home was everything
That I mentioned above.
But it isn’t.
A home is much more than
What the structure can physically
Provide.
A home has a family.
A home is full of sounds
From laughter and
Conversations.
A home is decorated
With photos of personal
Memories and intriguing
Artwork.
A home has sunlight covering
Spaces of every room &
Provides warmth.
A home evokes feelings of
Love,
Happiness,
Creativity,
Comfort,
Passion,
Safety,
Abundance,
And Family.
When given the opportunity,
Live in a home.
