A poem about God's house with many rooms

This week, I stumbled upon J. Kirk Richards. This is his work titled “Encircled.”

Home 
After John 14:1-14

The goal of my life
might be a small room
tacked upon Your house, O God—
a place where we’d all fit—
crowded, but oh, so happy—
the type of living arrangement
that's all pure gift.

Someplace in the woods—
thick with creation's chatter.

O, how I long
to be with you there.
I won’t be afraid anymore.
I’ll soak in endless courage.

I'll be home.
