My Home On the Crecsent
At the end of the school day
I walk home, a few blocks away.
When I approach my door
I smell butter and chocolate with a hint of stinky cabbage
My mom must have made cookies and my dad must have had kimchi.
Overjoyed and happy I’m home.
I run to find my mom to tell her about my day
I feel relaxed and loved.
I hear lil brother on the piano
Butchering the song he is.
Not knowing what he is playing
I offer to help.
Thank you, he says.
I hear him play
Oh how great he plays.
The day comes to an end
My mom is in my room
We cuddle and pray
I feel tired and loved
I fall asleep all warm, safe and cozy
I think how blessed I am.
This is my home.
We can all make a change to homelessness
We can all give spare things
Clothes, time, money and food.
One little act of kindness
Can mean a big thing to someone.
Every little boy and girl deserves to have a home.
Where they feel loved and safe!
Just like my home.
