You sat in front of that fireplace as a child,
Young and innocent,
On your Grandpa's lap.
You kissed your fiancΓ© in front of it's warmth,
Just before it all ended,
And she threw that ring in your face...
You sat in front of it as an old man,
Your generation on your lap,
Your little grandchild,
Little Emily,
She was called.
And now in Heaven you sit and watch your fireplace,
And Little Emily now so old,
Admiring her life in the flames,
And keeping watch over her grandchild.

#household In the room with 3 glass walls You see flowers bloom And the blue jay calls In it you see time will pass And seasons change View it all through the glass Seems like new owners each...
#household. I put up brick walls. To prevent my falls. I put up these imaginary barriers. To protect me from poisonous carriers. I put up the wall. When I answer your call. I have 3 walls.
#household W oudnt like to judge I n another house hold challenge because it's a N ightmare to D ecide O n a W inner.
@lonelynutmeg98 like it. I like things that dwell on the past yet bring up a sense of renewal and looking towards the future
