Old Walls and Memories....

If these old walls
Could talk
As they see
The books coming
Off the walls....

Tell us of stories
That were told
From times
Gone past
To the future
As it unfolds....

The floorboards
As many boots
Walked it's floors.....

The smell of coffee
As it brews
The mornings away......

How many tears fell
Or the laughter of all
That was behind each wall.......

This I see
As I drive by
An old homestead
Buildings all......

As they stand
Old and true
As they are
All alone now
