The house has stood for hundreds of years
If it could talk would it tell of the tears
Would it tell of the happiness and of the joys
The noises at Christmas as children played with their toys
Would it tell of the people who had passed through its doors
Of the footsteps that trod the boards on all of its floors
Would it tell of the diseases and open wound sores
Of those who left and went to the wars
Would it tell of the passions that were behind a closed door
If only it could speak would it tell you some more
Would it tell of the births of the girls and the boys
Which brought happiness and untold joys
Could it tell you of the times that really were bad
The times of depression which made people sad
Of all the people who moved in and out
Each one was made welcome without any doubt
But the house has lived through it all
It is still standing wondering how many more people will call
For its doors will always be open for those who wish to dwell
If only it could talk what stories it could tell |

| Valerie, Mindman, thank you for reading my poem. No matter where we live there is always a house that has stood through the ages and has a story to tell if only we were able to listen...Tony |
