Array ( [sid] => 170884 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Home [time] => 2012-02-18 16:21:18 [hometext] => I saw an old farm house on the way to work some morning.... I wrote this poem going down Hwy 63 in Missouri. Hope you enjoy! [bodytext] => The floors squeak like a squawking crow
Walls cracked from ceiling to trim
The smell of dust surrounds me
The beautiful colors now seem dim

Memories flow through my mind
Like a chill in the morning wind
Memories are the story of the past
Takes you back where you have been

In the back yard by the cellar
Is where I took my first steps to walk
Inside the walls of this old farm house
Is where I said my first words to talk

I can smell momma’s homemade cookies
Hear daddy choppin wood in the yard
The old stairs that lead to the basement
Is where I got my first scar

I can remember playing with my good friend Charlie
In the big creek around the bend
Trying to find rocks and treasures
He became my very best friend

I often come back and visit this place
When I have a little time to spend
I let my memories begin to flow
Let my memories ride the wind

This place now stands vacant
Destroyed from the roof to the foundation below
This place is junk in one man’s eyes
But to me this place is called home

Wow, that's a good poem. I like how you put memories in there regardless if you made them up or not. Nobody really lets go of the past, if they do, how should they remember it? ^^
