A housewarming poem

Tonight we have gathered
At your new home to bless
This place to be filled with friends, family and occasionally mess. (occasionally?!?!?!) *editor side note :)

Wanting to share something
I was asked to give a "verbal gift".
the kind that costs nothing
Except my attempt at wit!

Looking up to God with
Gratitude and deep faith
He has always provided
Now a place of your own, a place to feel safe.

I give to you a sense
of friendship and understanding
Knowing life brings many things
Rewarding and demanding.

My wish for you is that
He guide your steps and days
Bringing you love, peace, joy
Along the way.

Written by Kimberly Batterson as a gift for our housewarming.
