We Built This Together

I did not build this
This place we call home
We did it together

Passing through the storm
After the layoffs
The months looking for work

Sick ones we looked after
Sleeping many to a room
We leaned on each other

The air mattress stood during the day
Making room for little ones to play
We worked together

Making a house a home
The furniture and paint
The life made

Because that is what is done
When we pass from
Good to bad to good times

We carry on
