The ceiling is not completely flat
and the walls crack where the earth shows signs of life
old paint is seldom seen
but hidden at the edges of cabinets
the doors creek
the oven swells
the windows let too much air in during winter
and too much sun in during summer
But its bones
the very being of this home
they are beautiful
they've seen life and death
they've seen flood and snow storm
the inner workings of a home filled with memories
no matter how cold or how hot
no matter how much they creak
these bones hold together a home
a home which i love
a home which stands the test of time
