When I Am At Home

When I am at home, my heart fills with joy It does the same for every girl and boy At home, we smile happily Grateful to have food, shelter and family At home, there is passion, and there is also pride A place to dream dreams that stretch far and wide A place to put bad thoughts away and aside A place where nobody needs to cry When I am at home, there is love and blessings People who laugh and they are expressing What home means to them Sometimes people walk through the warm or cold streets But, over there, sitting on the concrete People with signs that make others cry “Please help me, I don’t have any money to buy Food for my two kids, or a home for us three Please, please, can you help me?” Days, weeks, months go by Still many humans aren’t dry Under the sky, with no roof over their heads None of them have nice warm beds My family hugs me on cold winter nights Then we all turn out the lights For we must go to sleep tonight, Tomorrow, home will be there, and everything will be alright By writing a poem, we can wash away grief We can give people lots of relief Homelessness is terrible Unfair and unbearable Everyone deserves a place to live So a home is what we will give To the people who need a place of love A place of peace, hope, and all of the above Because humans have feelings that matter too So I say, home is the most important place, it’s so true!
