Home Beyond A House

A home is a home grand or small There's room for improvement Between all these walls Traditions passed down And memories made Home is your calling Through message and phrase Home is the cold On a Saturday night And bluebirds that sing While gliding in flight For as long as we stand On this land we don't own There will always be someone Who struggles to float Homes are like chapters Of a hardcover book Overflowing with excitement True self overlooked The path of forgiveness Relations like ties A home is a place To let yourself thrive Our Elders hold secrets Let stories unfold A way to the future Script written in bold A home is a place To laugh and have fun Spend time with your family Before time is done Our days may be numbered Down here on this earth So make moments last And know your self-worth A Home is a home big or small It's not about what stands Between all these walls The laughter and joy Or the warmth of a glove A house or a street We all deserve LOVE Thank you Habitat For Humanity for all your hard work and dedication in making our community a better place for all.
