This old house



This house is very old.
Yet, it stands so gracefully.
If the walls could only talk.
I bet they'd have a lot to say.

It holds a lot of memories,
buried deep inside.
It seems to stand with attitude,
as if it carries pride.

It stands upon the foundation,
seeming to claim the land.
Refusing to wither from age
with a little help from my man.

Not one room, is a favorite,
each displays a special touch.
It might be old but, we don't mind.
We love it very much.
