This House

if I found myself alone in this life
I want to stay in this house 
this house is where we had our children
this house is where we loved and nurchered them
then sent them out into the world
there are holes in the walls here with stories to tell
memories at every turn
ghosts of happy times
shrieks of excited children
and the furniture is familiar 
and it also has a tale to tell
I am connected to this house
so connected that I want to - need to stay!

After the children left home
we focused on what it was that brought us together in the first place
what it was that clicked on the station that day
and then most of the time we had together 
together as us
we spent here
in this house
so if I found myself alone in this life
I want to stay in this house
...why would I want to move?



(Haiku)

A house is merely 
a shelter. A home is the
love that lives within.
