A Home

I will build you a home;

with lumber and nails and virtue.

I will build you a family;

with intimacy, and caring, and tenderness.

You will build me a home;

with warmth and comfort and flesh.

You will build me a family;

with laughter and joy and hope.

He will build us a home;

with faith, and conviction, and glory.

He will build us a family;

with a Son, and Spirit, and soul.

Together we shall construct; 

not what we know, but what we become.

And together - we will love.
