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
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
