I'd like being able to fly

I’d like being able to fly,
I’d fly to a distant land, where I could joyfully play and enjoy the sand,
where there would not be any violence or war,and everyone should be fine.
Where poverty has disappeared and nobody has pain. But, does such a land really exist?
Yet I don’t know.
But one thing I know: there is always Triest House.
It is not a land, but a very big house,where you may be completely yourself because it is your home:
to eat, to drink and to have fun, to laugh, to pray and to catch up.
I am so happy that it exists, because no one is lonely anymore.
So come out of your house, come to meet one another joyfully.   

Diene,
Someone out of  many who can really feel at home in our House.
