The first one is a mother, father and child that has to move house to house and the child is just saying that it's his temporary home. This next family is a mother and a daughter that is going through a tough time in thier life and she reassuring her child that this is only temporary and that someday they will find a place in the world. The next person mention in the song is an older man in the hospital and hes saying that the hospital is just a temporary home because soon he will be up in heaven with God. Each person in the song has their own struggle that they are fighting through, but they are similar because where they are currently in life that is only temporary. A ballad is consist of a dramtic single event, based on actual events, contains dialogue, and has a repeated line or refrain. This song contains al of these because at the end there is dialgue between her and the old man; the refain in the song is "This is my Temporary Home" because it is repeated in every other stanza.
