The House You Never Built

The house you never built Has a nice setting on the edge of town it has really nice curb appeal with the perfect landscaping and edging the shrubs and even a rose bush there is a garden out back This is the house you never built you never put your heart in it I was not worth it to you what you didn't tear down Is what you left me with all alone, empty inside I look in the mirror I see a house that needs a lot of attention something you never gave me With some work, right buyer I could be back on the market some new carpeting and drapes would really be a nice change in me The Realtor called they found a potential buyer A widower he lost his house in a tragic fire He looking for a fixer-upper something he could invest time and money in he has experience remolding houses Maybe, I can finally get this house finish the house you never built © Jerry L.
