The Best Moving Day

Sitting tall on boxes in the moving van Watching our new found land This house is made up of four walls So many rooms and long halls It’s a place to share All the loving warm care A place to bond and have fun Under a roof that keeps us safe from the sun Warm noodle soup on the table It’s homemade, so it needs no label Love and yummy spices Food chopped up into delicate slices Popcorn is ready for sharing Movie blankets are comfy for wearing All the lights turn off The room suddenly feels soft We laugh, we cry Our emotions collide The day comes to a rest But it was definitely the best Pillows are fluffed Tummies are stuffed I doze off to sleep As I count sheep While I sleep, houses are being made Where homeowners can finally rest and lay. Families who have had many rough days Now have a window to stare out and gaze Habitat for Humanity make walls sturdy For people who are willing to get their hands dirty These walls are my home where I roam And it’s where I call home
