There stands a house
abandoned and forgotten
lost somewhere in time.
But it was once new,
long ago,
the pride of a young couple.
Children came,
the family grew,
and time passed on.
The children left,
the couple grew old,
and the house grew silent.
First one and then the other
the couple passed on –
the house was left unwanted.
Where once was laughter and love
all are now gone
and the house is still.
abandoned and forgotten
lost somewhere in time.
But it was once new,
long ago,
the pride of a young couple.
Children came,
the family grew,
and time passed on.
The children left,
the couple grew old,
and the house grew silent.
First one and then the other
the couple passed on –
the house was left unwanted.
Where once was laughter and love
all are now gone
and the house is still.
