Sense of Belonging

Many try to find a place called “home” Searching everywhere from dawn to gloam Hiding in a corner under stairs Looking for someone that cares Getting love is the only way to heal Longing for the smell of a home-cooked meal Many work day and night nonstop Hoping to provide their family a safe spot Everyone deserves a shelter Nobody should shiver in a corner Left out in the cold Watching people to and fro Run away from their own Come into a foreign home Neither young nor old should face We all deserve a warm dwelling place I feel blessed living in Toronto Home for two and a half million people Not only can I find the CN Tower But also the Art Gallery and Casa Loma I treasure my family giving me a home Feel loved, secured, and never feel alone Though I face problems in different sizes Just need to pray and listen to advices I am thankful I have this place Filled with blessings and grace A place to share laughter And taste my favourite pasta In times of troubles and sadness Find my comfort, hugs and kisses Come and support Habitat for Humanity Together we can help our community
