National Roof Over Your Head Day

Today (December 3rd) is National Roof Over Your Head Day. It is a day to be grateful for the shelter you have, whether it be a traditional house, or an apartment, trailer, a car, or you live in a homeless shelter. It is a day to be thankful for having some kind of roof over your head. Below is a poem of gratefulness of having shelter.

In the haven of a shelter, warm and tight,
Where walls embrace, and windows let in light,
A refuge from the storms that may arise,
A sanctuary beneath the open skies.

The roof above, a steadfast guardian,
Protects from rain and wind’s relentless spin.
Against the cold, its sturdy arms provide,
A haven where the heart and soul can hide.

Oh, grateful heart, in humble dwelling’s grace,
For walls that shield, and floors that find their place.
A cozy corner, where memories bloom,
A space that shelters through the darkest gloom.
