My home is me but up for sale I'll show you round do you read brail? The views I love please see through my eyes look around, see the blue above can you pay my price as you haggle to buy Do you know what you're buying? the garden built with love My kara lies beneath the rose the yellow "children in need" but I know it's only another shrub The way the drive curves and tilts so welcoming as I come home this my house, home that I rebuilt You ask me about cupboards and curtains are they included in the price? my look, my reply, is so uncertain what price to put on paradise? These items I made with tender care striving for warmth make them feel at home to give my friends and share with legs curled under or free to roam they ask what is that smell? I explain it's perfume of my candles and plead with me, I want the name, please tell they can't say the name, it comes out all tangled Snoops wanders in, no mouse today looks at me and say, MUM? This is my home, here I know my way you know I love to cause pandemoinium The wife starts to moan and he starts to agree inside I seethe and groan I need not a two faced jury I will sell my home, if you'll love it too but if you don't I promise this, the amount to pay is far too much for you! ------------------ You give but little when you give of your possessions.

To leave a place you where you took walls and floors and empty windows and made beauty and comfort is a wrenching experience... you're not just leaving a structure, you're leaving the dreams you dreamed. But I pray you leave without tears. The new owners won't know that kara lies under the rose... but she'll sleep peacefully, for she lives within your heart. And wherever you go, you'll create beauty and comfort once again... I'll be hoping and wishing that your every dream comes true... and that Snoops finds new hunting grounds he loves every bit as much... in a place where you won't have strangers putting a price on your heart... Hang tough, dear friend! |

Suthern:thank you for understanding me and believing in me...you don't know how much that means to me, as for standing by me..I have no words to express a love that comes and meets all my expectations, for once in my life, I know a dependable love!

Well Said! I still drive past old residences and wave as if somebody I know lives there. A curious act for this rational mind. I wish you well during what sounds to be a difficult time. |

hey lady, sending you more big hugs today, what a beautiful, but sad poem, it is a hard thing you do, to say goodbye to your comfort zone.....I know, I shall do it soon myself, the world seems a raw place to be without it... big big hugs |

I've been there, I've done that, and I know how much it hurts. But it is possible to start building again. New cupboard, new dreams, new plants, new memories that also become old and dear with the years. Hang in there, you will be happy again. |

Wow! You have expressed my feelings! I just went through this a year ago. Had a home built, done as I wanted it, had extras too. 7 months later my husband decided to move, and now I am in a home with someone elses touches, and older than me. Needs work, but it broke my heart to leave my home! |

WhtDove I'll let you into a secret I don't care where I go the only criteria is that it's mine could be old could be new but one way or the other bet your bottom dollar (pound to us brits) that I will make it shine That's a promise! but I'll miss it ever so it has my prints all over it my warmth well I guess I'm saying I made it home and that can be anywhere, right?
