"Priceless"
Waldrena's original poem about building a Habitat home
November 2011
In all things I'm reminded to be patient.
However, we all have been in a place to want something so bad you could taste it.
Taste of a better life and all that it brings.Yet you're blinded by the pouring of rain.
Holding on to the dream to someday receive all God has in store for you and your family.
Just a little glimpse of hope is what I ask of thee.
In an instant a light shined down from heaven and rested on me.
God had been working before I could finish my plea.
Setting in the minds of others on how things would be.
While I was left with my thoughts of heaviness:
Something that once caged me in has now set me free.
Free from worry
Free from Despair
From from the feeling "I'll never get there"
All because of what you've given me.
If a price tag could be attached it'll read:
"PRICELESS RESERVED FOR THE ROBINSON FAMILY"
A gift wrapped for my love ones and I.
A gift of stability
A place to call home
A safe haven that protects us from harm.
Thank you God for Sponsors and Volunteers who have become our friends.
Thank you for this new chapter we are to begin.
A place where you Lord will always abide.
Grateful for you not allowing my dream to die.
My dream of happily ever after not a fantasy but my reality.
How you took a vessel of people filled with love that formed Habitat for Humanity.
Priceless
