Home: The Place I Belong

Home is a place where all are welcome and safe, It’s where everyone is loved and doesn’t feel out of place The laughter of loved ones echoes down the hall And put downs are not accepted at all It’s a place where you never have to hide your trueself Where all achievements and honours are displayed on a shelf Anyone and everyone is treated with love and respect It’s where empathy and cooperation is what we expect Home is a place that feels like a warm summer day And a cozy bed that makes me want to stay As the sun’s warm gaze shines on my face I know I am so lucky to have such an inviting place As I feel the warm embrace of my family I realize not all people are as privileged in amity Nor have a place filled with love and laughter To build memories and reminisce after Home is a place that we shouldn’t take for granted Where the seeds of growth should always be planted It should not matter what religion or race Home is a place where all should face no disgrace Thank you to Habitat for Humanity for all that they do For helping make people's dreams come true Everyone deserves a safe place to live and be free And live in a loving home, just like me.
