Not just a word but a feeling
Home is not just a word, home is not just a building or the stuff in it but it is a feeling that everybody has, the memories that the objects hold.
A house has a Door and windows, but a home has Happiness and relaxation, Calmness, Family and Light. There may be a building, but the best part is not the bricks or the windows, they are the windows to what we feel, when we walk in that door, we should be able to be free not live in fear.
House and home are quite different from a bright light to a storage sight,
But often like a cookie, full of delight!
It may be lit by a house light or candlelight
But each and every home is just right!
It may take just one more night
Till homes all over are in sight
Of needing a person to make it right!
to week and month to year
we will build a big home everywhere!
But for now, we are here
Let's take it step by step year by year
Till one day homes all over will appear.
There's just one syllable but it is clear
There will soon be homes both far and near
Wherever you live, whomever you are let's hear
On this big mud sphere,
What can we do to make this big goal clear
We need to join together and clear this weather
And make everything better!
Thank you for all you do habitat for humanity! Giving me a chance to write this poem has opened my eyes to the bigger picture of what really needs to change, and I would like to say how amazing all the 2 million plus volunteers are for moving us forward step by step year by year making the big picture clear to people all over the world both far and near...
