The Old Home Place
The flowers no longer growThe screen door no longer bangs shut
Smoke doesn't rise from the chimney
Children don't run through the yard
But those memories are still alive
Those faded ghosts of the past still appear
In the home where my Mother grew up.

I'm sure you've tried to imagine in your head what that place once must have looked like Chasity.
I can remember my father taking me to see his old home when I was in my early teens and I was fascinated with the place. I conjured up in my head what it must have looked like all those years ago. It had a footbridge over a double railway line to the big house.
Many years later my parents found a picture of the house in its former days and commissioned an artist to paint it the way it was in my father's childhood days.
Its great isn't it to have photos like this to look back on.
What a haunting image to go with the prose....Michelle
This hits close to home, only the house is now sadly gone. Beautiful!
Amazingly wonderful photo Chasity. I love old houses with fond memories which warm the heart and feed the soul.
Oh Chas can you imagine all the memories those walls hold....am so glad you have this picture. I love old homes, barns, clocks heck I love anything old including myself.
So glad to hear Shuana's news, am always praying for your sweet sister......:-) hugs

Love it..........
What a beautiful, old house! But, it makes me kind of sad to think it just sits empty...with no life inside it. Cherish those memories:)
