"What if I told you all homes aren’t made with planks and bricks. What if I told you that a home is what we make of it." - Ezekiel Azonwu

[@ricalovesjesus]

Have you ever seen Loves blueprint? What a construction site Imagined raw materials Yielding to a Carpenter… But how can mirrors be secure Where there are no walls? And how can walls stand Without a foundation? Hopelessness, is just one name Of a leaf on a tree called broken Now the battle to fill holes And the battle to feel whole Are one in the same. So for those thirsty for comfort You just don’t wish them well We become one A home. Just because it has an address Doesn’t mean it’s safe for a heart In such places there are no warranties So things broken in it Are not covered. Just because there’s a roof Doesn’t mean those under it escape the rain when it storms. What if I told you all homes Weren’t made with planks and bricks? What if I told you that home Is what we make of it? Cause I see home in conversations Baptized with grace I see home in phone calls Turned warm meal over dining table Prayers of faith Having folk leave so full They have to walk out with Tupperware Filled with “I can do this”! I see home in lives Laid down like welcome mat Positioned to ensure others Never carry outside burdens in I see home.. in us We were built for this An Architect named Love Designed us to express Himself fully Structures have a hard time standing Unless supported by beams Grounded and joined across We are grounded and joined By a cross.. Our purpose is To make room as we build refuge For those whose shelter Has been devastated by The hurricanes of poverty Tsunamis of war And earthquakes of oppression A house can be lived in But a home has been loved on We are loved So we love. Just look at us Fearfully and wonderfully made An open floor planned With no walls between us No hinges on these hearts Our arms crafted like living rooms So go Go and tell the broken “There’s still room here, come home.”
