I AM A HOUSE
I am a House
I stand tall and proud
I am a House
I protect and shelter the ones that I love
I am a House
Standing here brave and tough
I am a House
I stand here because I was built to protect, shelter and keep the ones who
built me here together
Please understand
I am a House
I can share your love too.
You came to my home
You have shown me there is more to life than just living
You have shown me kindness
You taught me love and things like how to build a house
How to build friendships and how to build love for one another
Thank you,
Not just for my new home, but for teaching me friendship, love and trust
I wouldn't be able to have all these things in my heart
Unless you came and showed me
Thank you, Habitat,
I thank you with all my heart
And I thank the ones that are helping build my new home
Thank you for your friendship, help, and most of all
Thank you for your love.
