Now you are its resident as well as
I, you are my guest the moment you enter
Through that wooden door frame my
Home becomes yours, my food becomes
Your food, my water is your water for when
You have a hint of thirst, for my home will
Provide you with its roof to cover your head,
Its walls will shield you from the outside breeze,
The windows and curtains will protect you from
Lurking shadows just beyond the walls, the
Front door will always welcome you and the house
will sing a quiet song of peace and rest
The house will always be clean never dirty,
Clean clothes will always fill your dresser as
My guest will not feel like a king or queen that
Has no clothes, your pain will become mine as
Well as your struggles, your joy will become mine,
A joy that fills the empty space with laughter
And memories, memories that will become pictures
That hang on the walls, and soon those memories
Will remind us of our good ol’ years, a house built
On joy and not on hate, a house built of love and
Not war, a house of peace and not chaos
My home—is yours
My food is yours and will always be
Served hot and fresh, water will never
Run dry for when you thirst, the
Fruit will always be fresh and not
Rotten to the core, my home will
Become your hospital for when you fall
Sick, my arms will hold you in your times
Of trouble, my table will always receive you,
Your bed in my home will always be yours,
My home is yours—and you will not
Be denied or turned away but simply always
Welcomed
