This house is very old.
Yet, it stands so gracefully.
If the walls could only talk.
I bet they’d have a lot to say.
It holds a lot of memories,
buried deep inside.
It seems to stand with attitude,
as if it carries pride.
It stands upon the foundation,
seeming to claim the land.
Refusing to wither from age
with a little help from my man.
Not one room, is a favorite,
each displays a special touch.
It might be old but, we don’t mind.
We love it very much.

Heavens, Ritva ! – for one wild moment I thought you’d started writing poetry, too !
Love the house shots !!!
M-R dream on… I used to write when younger, as I stopped I haven’t gotten the flow back. I’ve left it to those withmore skill to it and whom have something to say, I’ll say it with pics 🙂
Ich liebe alte Häuser, sie sind ein Stück Leben !
Dein Text dazu ist sehr ansprechend und drückt das aus, was ich auch so empfinde.
