Forever

Forever As I looked at the old house sitting there all alone I thought of the people who once had called it home In the yard it was barren now the grass so brown All that was left was a piece of metal lying around In a old shed remnants of a bicycle and mower I found So old it had metal tires and a mower with no sound No smoke came from the chimney with no signs of life No one seemed to be there not even a husband or wife Trees so many had grew up all around the old house The door now always open to only a field mouse Out by the old barn a desolate old truck there did sit and wait Little pines trees growing up through the bumper so straight Down the road an old outhouse sits by the crumbling shed With a dirt road that runs by the old house up ahead With a lonely punkin vine that was growing near the fence Blooming yellow flowers by the grass that was so dense Down the mountain a waterfall that runs into the stream As a coyote hollers on the mountain it sounds like a scream As I walk down the mountain I leave behind the memory of today I will keep them forever and in my mind forever they will stay!!
