If These Walls Could Talk

If these walls could talk

The stories they could tell

Standing protective

Cherished memories well

 

Firm foundation laid

Giving birth to new dreams

Long awaited start

Gripping tight the strong beams

 

Sheetrock, wood, and nails

By themselves prove useless

Together stand strong

Secrets never confessed

 

They say someone’s eyes

Are gateways to the soul

These windows shine through

With every joy and toll

 

The chimney snorts smoke

From a freshly lit fire

Warmth or some romance

Are a full heart’s desire

 

Heavenly angels perched

On the rooftop so stout

Warding off evil

That may be lurking about

 

Hugs, laughter, and tears

Past fond memories shared

An unspoken trust

Safeguarding those who cared

 

If these walls could talk

We know just what they’d say

Tales of family

And love along the way
