Embracing the Canadian Home

When the door groans open, a journey starts. To find my home, where love imparts. The hallway stretches through the peaceful haven, with peals of laughter and where delight’s awaken. But when my teen brother obstructs the passageway, it is like Canada’s winter as he rages away! Personality awakens, blooming like a graceful flower. In the quiet bedroom, where dreams empower. But the way my twin sister snores, it's scary! Like the storming sound of Tornado Barrie! The warmth, the taste, the place where love resides, the meals we savour, where bonds abide. But when a scrumptious box of Timbits appear, World War 2 is suddenly here! The living room is a haven of comfort, care and inclusions. Where family and friends find engaging reunions. But when it comes down to deciding a movie selection, The room becomes as serious as an election! Despite the rollercoaster of emotion and a wind of mild debate No home is perfect, it is yours to imagine, yours to create. But love always shines through, it will never abate A constant warmth, nothing can negate Habitat for Humanity fights for a cause so strong, To build a foundation, where the Canadian Dream belongs!
