A house is not a home

With windows and doors

A house is not a home

With kitchens and floors

 

A home is a house

With butterfly kisses

A home is a house

With skinned knees and hisses

 

Some laughter and tears

Are found in the home

Lots of love and some anger

Are found in the home

 

Clients and patrons

Can be found in a house

Working not living

Can be found in a house

 

A life that is lived

With wonders galore

In a home not a house

Is worth it therefore

 

A house is a building

Of concrete and steel

A home is a place

Where feelings are real
