Made a Home

We didn't the plot 
find
foundations dig
concrete pour
we didn't
the mortar mix
the bricks to bind
a wall to make
the wood that 
on its back
carried the tiles
stayed strong 
us 
dry inside
we didn't
the glass 
place
in a frame
a window makes
the cold and the wind stay away
us 
kept warm and dry

We grew
flowers
planted - grass
lawn mown 
plot - our plot
tended
security made - safe
we loved
we grew love - warmth of heart
foundations 
emotional - foundations 
grow - a nest built
a place
to return
to
call home
where our flock 
grew
here 
then fledged
to the world - discovered
we 
made a home
