Bringing Home Beliefs

I have never been homeless.
I’ll be without a home at September’s end.

I’ve never been homeless.
I have many home choices at my disposal.

I’ve never been homeless.
I have a job and a paycheque to acquire a home.

I’ve never been homeless.
The roof over my head will be different, but my beliefs will remain.

I’ve never been homeless.
What I bring under that roof will make up my home.

“Home is a notion that only nations of the homeless 
fully appreciate and only the uprooted comprehend.”
~ Wallace Stegner, Angle of Repose
