THE GIVING HOUSE

I took your family

thru many journeys

 

Different generations

 

Different needs

 

I sheltered you while you healed

and figured out what was next

 

I gave the children a place to play

that was rough and tumble

 

I may look small but my gifts

have been large

 

Soon I will retire and maybe

move on to other families

 

Or my walls may fall

with the memories inside

 

Never to die

 

Then I will give you money

to get your next house

 

I will be part of your 

continuing story

 

Though not within my walls...

 

but through all I have given.
