Home When I think of home, I think of my warm bed When I think of home, I think of being fed. When I am at home I could share my feelings When I am at home I understand it’s meanings. Home is a great place to play Home is a safe place to stay. Home is a place to hide from diseases Home is a place to do as you please. Home is not just a shelter It makes everyone feel better. The front door greets us with a smile It looks like it is alive for a while. Step… step… step... As you walk through the halls You feel so grateful to have these walls. Home is a person that keeps you safe and well A home’s roof is like a turtle shell. Sheltering you from the cold A wonderful place to stay whether young or old. I think about poor people who can’t pay their rent and fee It makes my heart drop because I strongly disagree. Some families could pay for a roof and it’s walls But then they won’t be able to buy food at the stalls. Being homeless is very tough Just a small, wooden roof is not enough. Everyone deserves a home to be warm Everyone deserves shelter from a storm. We all need a strong, stable roof A home that is weatherproof. A home that is bright A home that has light. After the war, many people were homeless Without a home, they were nearly hopeless. They had no place to call their own They also had no money to return a loan. Poor people need a space Their own, private, peaceful place. No one should ever have to roam So let us help them get a home.
