Our House

OUR HOUSE


I'm painting the kitchen cupboards
And I've done the hallway too
But I can't decide on the trim
Misty green or powder blue
New tile on the bathroom floor
Matching shower curtain and all
But now maybe I'll just renovate
And put in a corner shower stall

When I'm done you'll really love...Our House

I don't know why I'm telling you this
You already see the finished plan
I just hope you are pleased with whatn you see
But I could use a helping hand
You can see all the mistakes I've made
And had to do it all again
But when you look down from the clouds above
You'll see a very lonely lonely man

Applying the finishing touches...to Our House

I know you're living in a bigger house
In a Mansion of Glory, up there
But with every nail I drive and each wall I paint
I'll do it with loving care

Because this is ....Our House

I bet the neighbors will all be glad
When I'm done..so they can sleep
But we talked about fixing this old place up
And it's a promise I'm gonna keep

God! I really miss you....in Our House



Oh, I almost forgot...say hi to Elvis for me!!

Very sad and loving tribute to your wife. Pray that you will be able to move on and when your ready - find a new love - not to replace - but to spend the remaining years of your life being loved.

She passed away in 2002. But I still think of her. I have been in many relationships since her. But can't find the happiness I had then.sad flower

HI Sergio,

I just read your poem and ... being widowed myself .... I could feel the sentiments in your words more and more as I read the lines.... Towards the end, it was even threatening to put me to tears because it just kept hitting home ....

Thank you for a nice poem.... I have three of my very own here at Poems which you can check out if you want ...

Take care and regards,
