TO the house that once was
a mansion that towered
above all the rest
I beg of thee to house
my family and myself.

Let you walls be
the arms that
hold us
closer

Let your roof come
up above us
shield us
always

Don't let down your shield
or the warriors
thunder and lighting
shall have their way with us

Don't let your shingles
lose their compactness
for fear that the hail
will come along to play.

Please Please House
I beg of thee today
keep this family
safe
dry
warm.
