This House Is Art

This House Is Art

I wished I could have been there

Watching as you were created

Board by board you began to grow

Each one cut to Just the right size

Carefully placed in just the right spot

They were held together by honest men

Working at a craft learned from their fathers

And mastered by decades of experience

Even now after so many years

Your boards have greyed and some are missing

But your beauty and the visions of those men

Well, they can still be seen by anyone who looks

You are not the failing house some see

More than just a collection of old wood

You are a piece of art to be revered

I Love My Shoes

I Love My Shoes

I’ve known you since 1979

We have been together for so long

But not everyone cares about you

Many women told me to trash you

Throw you away like garbage

But look who is still here

Now, I know you are worn out

Threadbare beyond what should be

Tattered and torn at pretty much every seam

I will never get rid of you

Even though you have holes where the toes should be

I know that we have many years left

Many miles left to travel together

So, rest easy my best friends

You have a home now and forever

One Wish

One Wish

If I could meet a genie

And he would grant me a wish

Just one

No more and no less

My heart would decide

Just give me one minute

One special moment

That I let slip by me in life

I want to meet you once again

Speak with you and look into your eyes

I want to feel the emotions

The ones I felt the first time I saw you

But, there are no genies

No wishes which can come true

So, that moment is past

Lost to time

Except in my mind and in my heart

There it will live forever

And so, will you

Surviving The Fog

Surviving The Fog

By R.e. Taylor

The unseen is always dangerous

We have all be thought that

Stay in the open

Observe your surroundings

And never trust what you don’t know

But sometimes we are in a fog

Enveloping us and all we know

The fog may be there to protect us

Hiding the world from our vision

So, remain cautious as you look around

But do not let the fog scare you

Walk through it bravely

And do not show any fear

After all, you may be amazed

Once you see what’s on the other side

You Will Never Be Replaced

You Will Never Be Replaced 

Do you remember the life we had?

The first time I saw you I fell in love

We spent so many hours together

Traveling around our world

I always took special care of you

Bandaging your wounds

I only gave you the best

Even when I could not afford it

But now the time has come

It is time for my final goodbye

So, I will have a tear in my eye

As we part ways forever

But, remember that I will always love you

So, rest my beautiful girl

And know that no other car will ever replace you
