Old House

I rode by the old house it had been some time since I revisited that place some things have grown some things have changed but different colours of paint do not change the memories that are part of childhood many happy memories outweigh the sad ones time spent with siblings the pets we enjoyed the guiding parents hand the love of family forever in our hearts I rode by the old house it has been some time bringing back fond memories of how things used to be.

Phyllis I know the feeling so well and I always think to myself that no-one can live or bring the house the same happiness as we did and I see changes that have been made to wonderful changes we had already done to it. It always brings tears to my eyes I know how you feel my friend every time you pass it lovely poem hugs and blessings jennifer
