Jenn brought up a great idea of talking about homes. I wanted to share a story of my own about home.
Since 1777
Farmland stretching for miles.
Oh look, theirs the school
where I once went two years ago.
The fall leaves make their decent to the ground
as fall begins.
The big white house
with all my childhood memories
still stands since 1777
when it was built.
Remodeled, redone a few times
but still holds many memories
of swinging on the swingset
or playing hopscotch on the driveway.
Shooting for two
or picking some flowers
jumping into water
to cool down on those hot summer days.
Volleyball, trampoline, or even a game of ball
was the backyards duty
to stay green
and stand strong.
Bonfires, parties, giant trees
made up memories
never to forget
never to replace.
Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter
is how this house would be decorated
every year when the season was near
family would come and gather.
This is where I stand
since 1993
this home will always be
my home.
