Old House

Once grandeur,  
and perched on an expansive terrain 
The humble monumental frame 
that had bounced children's laughter
from its walls 
And had displayed historical images  
Along its halls,  
Now stands an eyesore 
so silent and worn. 

I passed by once to catch a glimpse 
Of what was left of it since 
Those glorious years of my youth. 
Though the epochs have passed 
And life had long bade that old house goodbye, 
It still echoed its beautiful truths.
I smiled- awash with nostalgia 
- And was lost in my childhood forever.
