A Gothic Revival Quest

A Gothic Revival Quest Pillars in light fashionable decorum sets the standard Those high rise structures with heavenly interior The holy oblation lead to the ultimate construction In matters of trust we can maintain a humane aura A heart that devised the good of humanities stake & claim An old lady named Grier used to live in it's dwelling A structure well kept yet needs a fix up with the plumbing Grier used to frequent her yard with it's barbed wire fence Tragedy had claimed her late husband's life that left her alone She carries on with a smile in her lone desolation A mere place for rest like a long awaited vacation With sincere love in her heart she would often sing Letting in the sunshine inside her brilliant dwelling A noted poet herself used to write to her hearts content The fashion of her study was filled with perfume & appeal Stacks of books lined the way the went to her parlor She made music in her head as she was getting ready to sleep A sincere whisper of gratitude would always be nestled at her feet For Grier was living smooth to the natural eye Sought back the pain from within with a simple sigh She dedicates her home to the loving hands of almighty God Enough to give her courage amidst a darkened cloud Silently awaits the true love to come through the door A beacon of light to a much hurting world in need Soft lace now decorates the rug with plush moderation A sip of tea will bring forth a new year's resolution She has gained yet also has lost humanities heaviest cost With four walls of gothic revival in her unique quest
