Home for Sale

Home for sale
That’s much too large
Too many rooms
Big ole empty yard
Far more space
Than the owner needs
Price includes
All the memories
Home for sale
Restored like new
Just a place
Two lives outgrew
A change in heart
Forces move away
Would like to keep
But just can’t stay
Listen close and you might hear the sound
Of what you think is rainfall leaking down
The roof is fine
Set aside your fears
It’s just a few remaining tears
Home for sale
Not all that old
A family’s’s dream
Stands dark and cold
Scenic views
That go for free
Of all the love
That used to be Home for sale
That’s much too large
