Poem
In the historic district of an Old English Settlement, I came to a house with a porch lined with hundreds of ferns covering it.  I couldn't believe what I was seeing, I'm a historian and knew immediately what I had stumbled upon.  As I walked carefully up the old wooden steps and under the roof hanging above me, I came to the door with a carved stone rosette that encased the 8 ft. double doors before me.  

I did not know if I would be able to open it, so I gently tugged on it, it came open and to my surprise was an old grand staircase that a royal English family that must have once lived here.  As I stood in the lobby of this grand staircase there was a window over looking a garden filled with rose bushes everywhere, what a sight!  

The house must be from the 1400's, this decaying structure still had a lot of life to it, under the dust and dirt, I wonder who must have lived here and so with curiosity I moved up the elegant staircase, and up at the top to my left I noticed a door along the hallway and it was almost as if you could hear the whispers of the past and the life that once had lived there, in their beautiful gowns and men in their suits and top hats, where a once beautiful home was full of life and color.  

Behind the door when I opened it there sat a desk with a bunch of old papers and a letter in the drawer.  I started to read them and it was the lady of the house with her name on it Lady Stratford.  

I brushed off the front of it covered in dust, it there had been the a deed to the house.  I cheered at the thought finding it.  That meant I could claim it and bring the Old English Home back to its original beauty.

There I sat in the garden after two years of renovations completed, sitting there on the garden bench watching my young daughter and son playing joyfully running around with my husband sitting there by my side, he gently kissed me on the cheek and said great job.
