House Turns into a Home

The house becomes a home
not overnight
but in course of time
with episodes and events
incidents and happenings
children and family
make it dear and loving
converting it into a home.
The brick and mortar
the wood and steel
the tiles and fittings
make the house grand
It is the feelings
both happy and sad.
It is the interactions
both pleasant and unpleasant.
It is the movement
of children running with joy.
It is the organising
which the lady of the house does
goes on to make a house a home.
A home is where we derive strength
where we get reconciliation
where we seek comfort and attention
The word “home” holds
myriads of connotations
known and unknown.
Home, My sweet home.
