Where Once There Was a House
Posted by Kim on Saturday Apr 10, 2010 Under PhotoetryWhere once there was a house,
a porch
and a yard
Where once it was always quiet and still
Now it’s alive with laughter and tunes and joy the heart can feel
Where once furniture was in place and rarely ever used
Now is scattered here and there and worn like familiar shoes
Where once the floors were sparkling clean
Now toys, blankets, and crumbs can all be seen
Where once the blinds were never raised
Now are smeared fingerprints where little hands have grazed
Where once I cleaned and worked and read
Now I entertain and chase and a tiny mouth is fed
Where once I slept for half the day
Now its rise and shine, time to play
Where once the only sound was a car going by
Now there’s giggles, giggles, giggles, and sometimes a pitiful cry
Where once the only movement was a dog on all fours
Now there’s the smack of hands and feet scooting across hardwood floors
Where once the laundry was big and grown-up like
Now there’s soft little doll-sized garments for our little doll-sized tike
Where once there was a house
a porch
and a yard
Now there is a home where fun, love, and games are never, ever hard.
