Poem 3: A House, A Home (Lorraine M. Hali)

What is a house?

It’s brick and stone

and wood that’s hard.

Some window glass,

and perhaps a yard.

It’s eaves and chimneys

and tile floors

and stucco and roof

and lots of doors.

What is a home?

It’s loving and family

and doing for others.

It’s brothers and sister

and fathers and mothers.

It’s unselfish acts

and kindly sharing

and showing your loved ones

you’re always caring.
