A Feeling of Home
A house is a suite or an apartment even a big ol’ 3 story house
and that’s pretty much it
So listen to my simple plea
If only you could merely believe,
that home is so much more than that
To me home is the calm soothing sensation
that washes over me as I dive underneath the
MONSTROUS waves
knowing that I’ll come back up for air
That's the same sorta feeling
I have when I’m playing badminton with family and friends
As I swoop for the birdie in my
GRAND LEAP of faith
to save the rally and the game goes on
as I let out a small sigh of relief
I get a bit of that feeling when I’m DEMOLISHING whatever’s
on the wood dining table that night
As I listen to all the eventful stories of everyone's days
As every flavor from our meal
Wafts out and exchanges brisk air through the open window
That feeling comes to me as well when I’m
Watching the flames in the fire centered in the middle of our giant circle
CRACKLE AND POP to life
While stuffing my face with the sweet gooey taste of roasted marshmallows
And everybody's joy are like echoes of happiness that never end
That feeling follows me ‘round and ‘round
Thank You Habitat for Humanity
For giving all of us
this opportunity to make a difference
in so many lives
