this is a picture of our house,
and i know the feelings it just might arouse.
i know you clearly remember,
it is the middle of friggin' winter.
you might expect this in spring,
and i know the feelings it surely brings.
i know nostalgia comes creeping in,
but please remember it's just a thing.
the pride we feel was felt before,
by minds that lived and surely stored
each waking moment in their lives,
and no longer live to tell their side.
happy moments still reside,
but surely somewhere sadness hides,
inside its walls as well as out.
that's what life is all about.



sorry, i was reading shel silverstein and thought i'd try....

You should probably take down that garland. It's a little out of season. The yard looks nice.

Miguel,
I have NEVER been able to write even one line of poetry, so that seems pretty amazing to me. Nicely done.
