Homes

Houses are not supposed to have such a sentimental influence on our lives, but some do. People say its just a house, get over it. But when you think about it, a house that is a home reflects so many memories it is hard not to feel so tied to it. I think a person is influenced by their surroundings.

If the house he lives in has been the center of the best time in a family's life, the family will have a bond with it...like South Street for us.

Home

The walls absorbed our laughter

Protected us as we slept

Now we are bound forever after

Knowing the memories it kept

It holds in its past the footsteps

Now echoing in Heaven's halls

Underneath the many upgrades

Is our character on the walls

Trees we planted together

Now tower above the yard

The memories of the games we played

Are not easy to discard

Don't laugh that we drive by

And slow down to take a look

It is our own best seller

In our family's only book
