What Home Means to Me

I wake up to hear the birds singing their morning song As I enter the kitchen, I smell my mom making her waffles I listen to my sister giggling with my dad I see my dog running to me with her toy to say good morning I feel my cat brushing up the side of my leg My mom embraces me warmly I feel loved As I head to school I hear my friends saying good morning I feel loved As I head to class, I hear my teacher greet my classmates at the door I feel at home As we go out for recess I feel the frigid wind blow against my face I feel at home In my community At my school With my friends With my family Our community spends hours making houses for us For us to call home for us to make memories A lot of our community does not have a place to call home They have nowhere to go Imagine living on the cold and dark streets every night The goal of Habitat for Humanity is to build homes for our community So that way our community has a place to call home
