Notes About The Poem
A home that was probably built in the early 1900's burned last night..I have passed it in going to town for the past almost 50 years and thinking that it would always be there..The family is going to live in the husband's shop temporarily...Sara
Grounded
Once a landmark, beautiful country home
Stately hundred year old oaks surrounded
Years ago productive farm was awesome
In the community family grounded
House sold for family built new dwelling
A different family then resided
But an orange red glow took home quelling
All the families joy gone with farmstead
A sadness engulfed me, for fifty years
Of memories and constantly seeing
Home in passing, now new home will premier.
Crumbled burned tin remains for time being
Life's assurance_change will happen sooner
Or later, adaptation roughly hewn
