Testi

Started with splinters—no level, no plan,
Just blistered hands and a maybe-I-can.
Every nail bent taught me 'bout patience and pain,
Every warped board whispered "Try it again."
Then I learned the rhythm—tap-tap-turn,
Heart like a hammer, watch the fire in the burn.
Sweat on the ledger, blue prints in the dirt,
One step at a time—yeah, that’s how it works...
Now the porch light’s on—front door swings wide,
Every scar in the hardwood tells the pride inside.
From one lonely timber to a kingdom of beams,
I built this love piece by piece—now it’s holding my dreams.
(Hey!) Foundation’s hope—walls are sacrifice,
Roof’s made of storms that I weathered twice...
Nine-to-five was a wobbly ladder,
‘Til I braced every rung with the lessons that mattered.
Promotions like windows—let the light pour through,
Now the view from the top’s just how far I grew...
Is it love? Is it labor?
Both need cornerstones and a savior...
Every room in my soul’s got a story to tell—
The kitchen’s for feasts... the bedroom’s where prayers fell...
Now the mortgage is joy—interest is grace,
Every shingle a battle, every wall holds its place.
From that first 2x4 to the welcome mat worn,
I constructed my peace—now it’s more than a home.
(Turn the key!) Sink’s full of dishes—couch full of dogs,
Garden’s wild ‘cause the roots grew so strong...
One 2x4... and a dream thick as sawdust...
Now every hinge squeaks family...
