Home the Safe Space

Home the Safe Space My home is the brightness to my shadows My home helps me shred the fear in two blows The happy tears slowly appear I finally have a safe space this year The anxiety and fearfulness eventually disappear Roof, I finally have a roof! All the dirt on my head went poof! Home, the area I can call my own The area I can live freely in The area that protects my skin The flowing water of the sink Like the flowing blood in my body The clock on my wall goes tick tock, tick tock It's like the heart in my body, going thug, thug, thug. My parents finally have a kitchen, a space that they cook in! The air is full of steam Tears come out again, it feels like a big dream! There is now a roof that can protect my body from the dreary rain My home keeps me from going insane No more aching body and no more pain! Everyday I can now go home in a safe shelter feeling secure without any doubt. That is what home means to me. Give that feeling to others! Help give a home and make families feel protected. Every home goes to a desirable family, a family that needs it the most. Help families have an opportunity to sense and feel what it is like to have a place they can call home. Give the comfort and delight to those families.
