A Haiku to Home

One day I left home. I fought tears, I wept and sobbed. Until I looked back, sad. I looked ahead and smiled. A new house would be my home. A new home to love. I live in a house. But thrive at home, family. My sanctuary. A home where I learn. I live, and grin, cry and laugh. My security. One day I went home. Where my people care for me And never leave me. I hope that children Without homes can feel like this. These special feelings But a charity, Like this unique one, Can and will change things So for those hopeful Children, staring at houses Through all the windows, Don't give up your hope, Your unique Humanity. To love, thrive and learn. Thank you, Habitat For Humanity, for your Life changing project.
