A Simple House

A house is but a building,
that protects one from the storm.
As too, a divided house craves in want

Without a hope of fulfillment

And will collapse into decay.

But what makes a home?
Those who dwell within,
In bountiful love one for another.
For with love,
a home shall never crumble.

Nor does one live there just with one’s family,
But Allah (Hashem) is also there,
so be mindful in all your deeds.
