A home is filled with family and friends who will always be there to catch you when you fall, A home with people who will help you stand tall when you’re feeling small. Family and friends who will be standing beside you until the very end, People who will stand beside you when you long for a friend. A home is a place where you can be yourself without any judgment, A home with flaws that are perfectly imperfect, they don’t need any adjustments. A home is a place where you can rest after a long and tiring day, A place where you’re always welcome to stay. A home is where you sing, dance, and smile, A place where you can show off your style! Somewhere where you are free, A place where instead of “I”, there’s a “We”. A home is a place you can count on to keep you safe and shelter you from the chaos and coldness of the world outside, A place where you can count on someone to always be there for you during difficult times. A home is a place where you can cry, A place where you’ll always fly high. A home is a place where you can share what’s on your mind and trust that all your secrets are safe, Somewhere where there’ll always be faith. A place that is sometimes described with a ceiling, four walls, and a floor, Where the memories you have made inside these four walls bring you together even more. A home is a place where you create music, poems, stories, and art, A place where you have made memories that you hold deep inside your heart. A home is a quiet place where you can be by yourself and imagine, A place filled with support and encouragement, where you feel welcome to follow your passion. A home is where you can spend time with family, friends and the people you love, A place filled with happiness as pure as a dove. A home is a place where you will never feel lonely, A place where there are people who will walk with you every step of the way, fast or slowly. A home is a place where you go when you feel like there’s no hope anymore, A place filled with affection, security, attention, love and appreciation that helps you shine as bright as the sun. A home is a place where you can go when you need a hug, A place that sometimes contains sturdy tables, durable chairs, comfortable couches, and soft rugs. On nights that are longer than days, When you’re freezing, exhausted and vulnerable. When you fall to the ground without anyone even giving you a second thought, When darkness just seems to pile over you. The four walls of your home will reach over to you and give you a warm embrace while telling you, “It’s going to be okay”. On a beautiful spring day, Habitat for Humanity builds a home that welcomes all, A home that someone will call their own, A place where they matter. A home ‌filled with love as strong as the tides of the oceans, Filled with support that makes you feel like you can endure anything, A place filled with happiness that you will cherish forever.
