How much it means to have a home

Sitting on the streets, watching people walk by. How I ended up this way? I’ve identified why. The cost of houses went up, they were expensive to buy. So I’m left out here, just my sleeping bag and I. Sometimes I wonder, if I could get a job you see. But it’s not like they’d want someone like me. Dirty tangled hair, scraped up, worn out knees. If I had a home, I wonder what my future would be? I really wish I had a home. But I live on the sidewalk where people roam. I wish I was loved, I wish I wasn’t alone. But I don’t think it is easy, I’ll probably stay unknown I heard about habitat for humanity, I wonder if they might help me? A chance to have a home? I’m happy as I can be! I guess I’ll have to wait and see I was given a home and I’m as normal as can be! I’ve got a job, a life, and I’m finally happy. I’m ready to earn the miracle that somehow found me. Thank goodness for habitat for humanity.
