    Old House Song
    Crossing over the threshold

    creaks as loud as thunder

    wallpaper peeling from years of old

    like all of its memories of yonder



    The wallboards and the floors

    just bursting to tell

    their many stories of yore

    that only they knew too well



    An old fireplace in its grandeur

    with cracked bricks and holes

    still has the same majestic hearth

    heart of a loving home



    Now leaning in sadness

    empty and all alone

    with loving care and tenderness

    will again be a beautiful home



    So as I strive to bring

    its beauty back to life again

    I can hear the old house sing

    its proud song as it did once then

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
