Home and Memories

Running up the stairs Seeing my breath in the air It is cold Unlocking the door To warmth and care But what if It wasn’t there More than you think There are people out there Their noses pink They have no home No memories of joy No favorite doll or toy No warm bed That I can sleep in No food or drinks That I love My house isn’t very big But it is there for me And it has memories The stairs that I have run up and down Every single day The bedroom that I sleep in And the kitchen full of possibilities But there is still The cold and lonely streets And so many people trying To obtain precious heat Habitat for Humanity A source of hope and joy Helping those in need And keeping them off the streets Building homes That are more than just a shelter Or a place to eat and sleep But building amazing memories for you to forever keep.
