Our House (a glimpse)

Author: Unknown

walls were seasoned with years of family banquet
air stirring with echos of times spent happily
dust settled heavily as to cake moments forever
windows not hiding the fact that we did live there

Great first posting. If you're getting your feet wet after a long time, just keep on wading in. This is what makes a house a home.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments. It was my grandmothers house, the only real home I'd had. Everyone automatically gravitated to the kitchen and throughout the day family members would come and go, eating, talking and lots of laughter. And my Gran would cook all day long. Gosh, the greatest of memories.

Thank you to all. I appreciate the comments. It has been a long time since I've written anything I was very nervous it putting this up, but I'm glad I did. The first one is the hardest.
