For Resting

I love an old farmhouse,
Tattered enough to care for,
Sturdy enough to trust,
Mabye a little off center;
Full of stories of babies born
And meals shared,
And holidays long past,
Maybe a ghost or two;
A mouse for my cat,
Gate listing a little
To the left,
A garden palette,
Room on the porch
For companionship,
Iced tea on a hot day.
Who wouldn't love an old farmhouse?
Who wouldn't love you?

  1. This is wonderful! Full of nostalgia. I love old farmhouses with their happy memories full of warm fireplaces, toasted marshmallows, cozy socks, and home made bread baking. Yes, I love old farmhouses.
