This Old House
The moment I laid eyes on it,
this old house seemed familiar.
Something spoke to me
within it’s weathered walls,
whispered of days long ago
when life was easier.
I am comfortable here at home
with it’s century-old secrets,
crooked sandstone walkways,
sweet-scented lilacs.
Even the birds seem accustomed
to each old tree.
And the porch!
What a place to dream,
with it’s squeaky old swing
just like Granny’s!
This old house with it’s worn
floor boards, and cozy rooms
flavored with antique treasures
is the essence of me.
