Doris Bounds Poet Rhyme

House of Pain

Oh house of pain
you know no bounds
this house of sorrows
has let us down
oh house of shame
just let us be
this is no game
please set us free

house of pain
house of woe
if you love us
let us go

oh house of loneliness
a house of tears
a house of hatred 
that holds us near

bring back the joy
replace the pain
no more sorrow
no more shame

this little house
that knew so much
please give us peace
bring back the love......



                         written in 1982

Gershon Wolf July 25, 2020 at 9:00 PM Whoa! This comes from an interesting place... Just careful with the date there, friend. So, let's see. You wrote that in 1982. You must be, oh, about 43 or 44 now. (I figure you for a child prodigy, of course). lol. Let's make it an even 45, ok?! Peace and Light, Gershon Doris Bounds July 26, 2020 at 7:47 PM lol thank you for your insight on this...i am at least that... an interesting place,sometimes shape us of who we are.and what we can be...be well friend
