My giant home
With the stair case,
A mountain,
One I learned to conquer over the days
The couches,
Bouncy clouds for me to play
My big comfy, warm and fancy big girl bed
Where wild dreams raced through my head
The backyard a jungle for me to explore
The pile of picture books on the bedroom floor
The handles,
Some too high to reach
In this house
I learned the lessons my parents would teach
Now the stair case is a trip down memory lane
A path to and from where I once came
The couches now know my shape
My bed now a place that hides my secrets and keeps me safe
The yard, a reminder
Of all the adventures and excitement we had
My books passed down to my siblings by mom and dad
The handles for the doors feel small in my fully grown hands
There is a drawer filled with CD's from all my favourite bands
Long lectures at the table can't teach me lessons the way they did before
Making me promise to behave because sitting and listening made me so bored
And suddenly my giant home isn't so giant anymore.
