Wilma Neels Poet Couplet

'a Home Treasured'

Memories scuffle to be remembered
I wish this journey did not have to be endeavored

The pictures against the wall
Each with its own story to scrawl 

I can still hear the laughter
Something we never use to chase after

It all came so naturally
This place embraces everything that means family

If we close the door today
Our hearts might feel a wee bit grey

Calling it home was a treasure
Blessed was I beyond measure 


Contest: A Change Of View
2nd Place
