A house of brick, so strong and true,
With a roof that's sturdy, just like new,
Walls that hold it all together,
A balcony where we can gather.

A chimney tall, with smoke that curls,
And tiles that shine like precious pearls,
Stairs that lead up to the door,
And a cozy home that we adore.

Inside we find a warm retreat,
A place to rest our tired feet,
With rooms for sleeping, playing, and more,
And love that fills each wall and floor.

So come and join us in our house,
With laughter, joy, and fun to rouse,
For here we find a family's love,
That's built to last, like bricks above.

Reflections

1. What kind of materials is the house made of?
2. What are some of the things you might find on the outside of the house?
3. What are some of the things you might find inside the house?
4. What kind of feeling do you get when you think about the house described in the poem?
5. What is the most important thing the author wants us to know about the house?
