LOVELESS
Can you imagine a home with no
love at all?
Just a shell to keep out heat or cold
and no call
Of loving voices just frigid conversation
so cold,
Just the bare necessities of living
to behold.
Fed and clothed and sheltered, no sweet
kind word,
No laughter, no sweet singing in the house
was heard,
No hugs or kisses or comforting words
ever spoken,
It is a wonder that each heart in there was
not broken.
A knock at the front door, something not
heard before
And there stood a young boy, smiling
at that door,
‘I’ve just moved in down the road’ pointing
across the street,
‘And someone to play with now I am trying
to meet.’
This old house changed by this single act on
that day
When a boy asked if anyone would come out
to play,
Love entered the door with happy eyes and
a smile,
Why don’t you finish off the story in your very
own style.
