A House into a Home
Slow and steady,
bit by bit,
inch by inch
and piece by piece
a house is something
that you build.
A home is
a place that you create.
A house is manufactured
from wood
and nails
and bricks.
A home is made
of hopes
and dreams.
A house is built
on a solid substructure of
mortar and iron.
A home's foundation
is reinforced by
caring,
kindness,
and most of all love.
A house is a shelter
from nature's elements.
A home is your protection
from the sometimes overwhelming pressures
of the outside world,
your comforting refuge,
a safe sanctuary,
your carefree, easy and happy place!
VISUALS: My husband and I purchased this beautiful wooden Victorian house from a wonderful Etsy shop, it came in a box of what seemed like thousands of pieces, it took us three days to put it together but it sure was fun!
