Meaning of Home

Home is connection Where you have others protection You are safe and loved And never by anyone, shoved No one deserves to live on a street With not enough to eat Home is family With over your head, a balcony Home is your own Where you are never alone Either big, little, tall, or small Home can be anything, even if you don’t have it all A home is a place to sleep With even, a pet sheep Home is many emotions With no evil potions Home is having enough food and being healthy It doesn’t even matter if you’re not wealthy In a home you can do peaceful things like make a knitted mitt I love my home and everyone should have one and love it. Thank you to Habitat for Humanity and the volunteers for building and giving people a home. I also thank you for letting me write my feelings about homelessness. I think that everyone should have a home and be loved. Thank you for doing all that you have done and being so kind to the people experiencing homelessness and making a home for them.
