The cottage stands there all alone

Gardens forgotten ..... overgrown

With weeds trying hard to bury the past

The crumbling foundation, surrendering at last



Shutters askew.. windows broken ..... bare

Roof and chimney.... not much left there.

Fragments of glass over the walk,...

Poor little bungalow,if only you could talk



Would you tell me how once you were somebody's dream?

Would you tell me of happier days you have seen?

Walls that once stood straight and tall

Echo now with voices not there at all



Once young and proud ..... eager to taste

All that life offers ..... let naught go to waste.

Now old, and empty ..... left standing alone

Abandoned .... forgotten .....
