My Inheritance

This year I inherited a farm surrounded in love. Included, house, fields, machines, and barn, From my distant past, I can feel the sense of need. Your wonder written in every faded side, Your tainted stains of red show your age of time. Weathered damage shows that nature is unkind. Your strength is evident in your stature so bold. Whispers of sounds fade, though grasp my ears. Evidence roams around your perimeter in sight. Traces of housed remnants, secure your story. Telling of the creations and forms, you caressed. Along with sheltering herds of living things, A testament to your foundation still shows complete. Your fortitude captures my heart, in a natural backdrop.

Sounds like you inherited history. Nice that you realize that and appreciate it. Thanks for your comments on my "Empty Apartment". Actually I have never lived in an apartment either. But that was the asignment. We built our home on the foundation of my husband's birthplace forty one years ago. I live here alone now. It is a farm and I rent my land out to bulb growers. Joyce
