For You and For Me

we bought a house
for you
and for me
for us - to be

a house of bricks
glass, wood 
as our base
to be - our place

we worked so hard
for us
to acquire
retain -  not tire

we made a home
with love
and with care
for us - to share

our castle, safe
to have
children in
new life - begin

the children grew
up, left
empty place
a happy - space

to call our own
now two
the dog, three
happy - to be

our little house
for you
and for me
for us - to be
