A house could be anywhere you choose, on a mountain or down by the shore. A home is a bond with the family you love, no matter where you go.
A house could have big glass windows with sunbeams sweeping the floors. A home has hearts that open wide to let love shine through the doors.
A house is a place where you might stop if you've no better place to go. A home is a place you would rather be than anywhere you know.
A house could be a one-room shanty or a hundred-room mansion of gold. You can count the rooms in a mansion. You can count the hearts in a home.
A house can shelter you from the cold with a fire to warm your feet. A home has a hearth of big warm hugs and the promises of your dreams.
You could leave a house without looking back, and never feel regret. But you couldn't depart from a place you call home without leaving the best of the best.
A house is a place where you go to live. A home teaches you about living. At home, you can share your deepest thoughts and find treasures found only in giving.
A house is made of plaster and wood, secured with silver and gold. A home is made of laughter and love, secured with commitment and hope.
A house will fall to the ground some day, as all things of this world do. A home can last for eternity, if that is what you choose.
So build yourself a mansion of gold with sunbeams sweeping the floors. But to brighten your heart, build a place called home and let love shine through the doors.
