Forever

Forever
As I looked at the old house sitting there all alone
I thought of the people who once had called it home

In the yard it was barren now the grass so brown
All that was left was a piece of metal lying around

In a old shed remnants of a bicycle and mower I found
So old it had metal tires and a mower with no sound

No smoke came from the chimney with no signs of life
No one seemed to be there not even a  husband or wife

Trees so many had grew up all around the old house
The door now always open  to only a field mouse

Out by the old barn  a desolate old truck there did sit and wait
Little pines trees growing up through the bumper so straight

Down the road  an old outhouse sits by the crumbling shed
With a dirt road that runs  by the old house up ahead 

With a lonely punkin vine that was growing near the fence
Blooming yellow flowers by the grass that was so dense

Down the mountain  a waterfall that runs into the stream
As a coyote hollers on the mountain it sounds like a scream

As I  walk down the mountain  I leave behind the memory of today 
I will keep them forever and  in my mind forever they will stay!!
