Habitat

My clothes are stained, it matters not
The weather's cold, but not for naught
We built a house, we built a life
For someone knowing only strife

We came together, group diverse
We gathered here, better or worse
We learned a trade, a useful one
We went away and had some fun

Our contributions paled from those
Who came each day, amateurs and pros
But those who gave sweat equity
Are those we really need to see

It's not a handout, not a check
It's earned by them, pain, back and neck
Five hundred hours, they choose to give
To earn their own, in which to live

Our half-day only goes to show
That from a team comes a chateau
And love of fellow man does grow
A gift on us has been bestowed
