Are the ' house' and 'home'
Synonymous words?
Though apparently similar
They are way too different
In their essence.
A house is just a structure
Of any size or design
Small, simple and trivial
Or big, imposing and royal.
A little cottage or skyscraper
Roadside hut or luxury motel
Any safe shelter you can stay in
Paying duly for what it offers.
And a home? Is it a house too,
Made of bricks, cement and iron?
Indeed, but upgraded in many ways
Indeed, but upgraded in many ways
To make it most desirable.
A place you long to return to
Seeking solace and respite
After every outside wandering
Rewarding or otherwise.
.
A resort where you needn't pay
For boarding and lodging
All services being free therein
With personal care in addition.
A place kept alive forever
By members of the household
Inseparably bound together
In loving familial cord.
