OUR OLD HOUSE

 

After returning from our summer road trip…we both smiled when we saw our home

and the reasons for our smiles have found their way into this poem.

This house is where we combined our two families together…

and, once all the combining was done,

It was in this house where our two families blended into one.

We’ve been making memories in this house now…I’d say for quite a while.

Is it any wonder every time we see her…we cannot help but smile!

If there ever comes a day we have to leave her… 

I’ll try not to make too much of a fuss…

knowing it’s the house we’ll leave behind…

but the memories of our home will come with us.

If that day ever arrives and we have to leave this house behind…

I think I’ll leave a note…for the new homeowners to find:

This house has blessed our family for many years…

Her walls absorbed our joy…our laughter and our tears…

And now that you have chosen in our old house to dwell…

in the coming years we hope…she blesses you as well.

We hope here walls throughout the coming years

will absorb your family’s joy…all their laughter…all their tears

So those time you are away from her…

wherever you may roam….

you’ll smile just as we did

every time you come back home.
