Poem: Habitat for Humanity: Spring Break Collegiate Challenge 2007

One week shared

on a mission under God’s eye

We are his hands in helping others

coming together to change a life

and we change each other’s too
Friendships made—for a lifetime?

Only time will tell,

or maybe just a brief passing

who came to us for a reason

to prove we have a strong connection

we didn’t know existed at first.

We were almost strangers

who chose to spend a week

doing something for a good cause

and we’ve come out with such a

great satisfaction and brand new friendships

                -maybe for a lifetime?

We walk away with so much positive energy

I smile wide, I nod

and I am so genuinely happy

All so happy with being accepted 

Maybe this time…

maybe this time I can take this beautiful chance

this opportunity to run

and begin a new life

Thank you for the inspiration…
