Home is

Home is a place to be safe, happy and healthy A place where you don't have to fit in or be stealthy. A place you can be you and not have to be silenced, A place to flourish and to grow A place to be heard but also know That home is a place to get knowledge and learn A house is a place with four walls and a roof, But a home is a place to get love and comfort A place to hold all the memories which cant be stolen, A place to cherish. A place to have, A place to hold A place to love A place to know, A place you can call your own. A place to make mistakes. No bandaids can patch the holes in our hearts when our family is torn apart. Face it, we need each other. I see now that not everybody has a place to have, a place to hold, Not even a place to be sheltered from the hot and cold. I want people to love somewhere and to call it their own. Habitat for humanity will give them a chance to realize how much they have missed all along, I hope and wish them the best of luck along the long windy road they have ahead of them. Thank you habitat for humanity. Everybody deserves a home.
