Elijah’s submission for HOME for Habitat for Humanity
H is for hugs, for half of my family living together, for happy times, for humour, for healthy meals( especially ham), for healing hurts with more hugs
O is for odours like cinnamon, baked cookies, for overnight at my grandparents’ home, for being outside and coming back in to warmth and love
M is for Mom, for making cakes, for making memories, for movie nights on Fridays eating chips on the couch with Mom and my sister
E is for an easy place to do homework, for everyone to feel welcome, an easy place to love each other and be loved
And that is what HOME is to me!
