A simple house to the eyes of most
With size nor style with to boast
With little meaning to you and I
But within countless memories here may lie
A house to many, but a home to few
A place to grow, or to start anew
A space to live, a space to love
where a family could flourish like a floating dove
A man purchased the house, full of hope
To find his love that he could elope
And within these walls made of elmwood
They would venture on the journey of parenthood.
He did meet his beloved, a beautiful girl
Who he cherished so, like a priceless pearl
Not long after they would marry
And soon thereafter start a family
Two decades passed, and his family had blossomed
His children left the home, but it was not solemn
For the memories that they had left behind
Would live on with the house until the end of mankind
When he thought back on the life he had built with his spouse
It brought him back to the day he had bought the house
He looked upon his beloved and his mind continued to roam
And he realized what a young man saw as a simple house turned into a perfect home
