A thousand pictures adorn the walls In a house where the memories remain If I could make those picture come alive We would dance and dance again. Laughter stains the dim lit walls Music still rings in the air Quieter now, the feeling still stays Of the days when there wasn’t a care. The noisy bustle still hangs in the room From the days when we all stopped by And we drank and we laughed, we talked and we danced Til the moon set high in the sky. Sun flickers over the garden, Where we splashed and we played in the rain Emptier now, Quieter now In the house where the memories remain.

Thank you. This is about my Nans house. We are a big family and I loved the hustle and bustle of being there. So many parties and gatherings. I find it quite bitter sweet now when I visit and its quiet - but still hundreds pf photos everywhere!
