Home
A house may be fancy. It may be plain.
But it is a shelter that keeps you from the rain.
Home isn’t just a painting on the wall.
It helps you when you fall.
My family holds me tight
and helps me when we fight.
I feel loved every day.
At home, I can be myself in every way.
At home I feel like I can smile.
Maybe even do it for a while.
At home you can laugh and cry
because some loved ones will have to say goodbye.
At home there’s always some peace of mind
because everyone is so kind.
At home you face lots of weather
but you do it together.
When I get home, I feel my worry
but they start to leave in a hurry.
Home is where I can relax
and I can have my feelings to the max.
Your home is the greatest work of art
so hold it close to your heart.
Thank you to Habitat for Humanity for helping people to find a safe home to make memories.
