What Makes A House A Home Poem by Practicing Poetess

What Makes A House A Home

Rating: 5.0


What sets a house apart
Is not lovely furnishings
And classic works of art
And all such pretty things

What makes a house a home
Is the person(s) dwelling there
And hospitality shown
And the love for all to share

If an atmosphere is welcoming,
You'll want to come back
For such a home, a feeling brings
Of warmth, and not lack

A mansion there once was
With cold and shadowy rooms
I left there quickly, because
The place felt like a tomb.

So beautifully said, A house is not a home If Love's not living there. A charming poem filled with sweetness, finesse and good décor. Maxi-vote.
