Faded white brick Potted plants Crooked door Wonderful rain, You bring life to this old body Taking the noise out of my floorboards Putting the meals back on my table, So long it has been since life has flourished under my roof, So long it has been since this rickety frame has felt loved. The rain forced their faces back inside To this place they claim to be a home, I smile on as my colors peel with every grin, Thank you for this.
