This Old House

This old house has seen many phases of my life:
The opening of the door, as a child comes in with
laughter and love in his heart-
The closing of the door with sorrow, because
someone is leaving on a new journey to
expand his wisdom and knowledge-
The opening of the door as a loved one
has returned from a long journey from a distant land-
The closing of the door as you hold this
loved one with tears of joy and love in your heart.
For this child has returned with
understanding and wisdom,
this grown child of mine.
In awhile, we will open the door for another child.
This child is coming with laughter and love in his heart.
For as we all know,
this old house has seen many phases of our lives.
