A chapter in the book Everyday Miracles

Our House

by DeboraDyess

 
This house we have is not so grand
- it's broken down, you understand -
but here, upon these old, cracked floors,
we've raised our children - yes, all four.

The walls have had their share of licks
with kids and grandkids playing tricks.
The roof still holds out most the rain
and every window has a pane.

The yard, where weeds and flowers grow,
has hosted races and some shows.
Along with kids, some trees have grown
where once my kid's dodge balls were thrown.

Although we truly love to roam
it's true - we've found no place like home.
To you, this house won't seem like much.
To me, it has my family's touch.

We've lived here for 31 years. Our youngest son was born into this house and we watched all of them grow to adulthood here. Several of our grandchildren have lived here (along with their parents!) It holds memories a lifetime deep.
We're considering relocating and it's tough. Leaving the house won't change the memories, though.
God's everyday miracle - home.
