Nestled among the social deeds that man has tried to do.
Is one that fills a real need with designated tools.
The hammer, saw, and nail are used to put this house in place.
The people – hands and hearts come too, and add the needed grace.
Here is the standard by which these homes here are to occur,
They are a great help to the cause, of this you can be sure.
One week of life is all you need to build these, interest free.
While pounding nails on bender knees, with those who oversee.
The occupant will pay a small amount for some 20 year.
The volunteers work in the house and know their role so clear.
Donations pay for the supplies, the workers volunteer.
Each one puts something into it, like a house built as a tier.
The bottom tier – foundation stone, secure that they will feel.
The main level, the place you dwell – an owners door, it’s real.
The windows, porch and all are placed to give completed touch.
What a great habitat for this human need. To them it means so much!
