The house by the lake

The house by the lake 

where I planted lilies in the garden

The stairs in that house

 were I held her why she cried

 Because kids are mean

 the fire in the fireplace to keep us warm 

because we had no heat 

the widows were I watch the rainfall 

and how often it fell.

When the water flooded so we couldn’t go out

The wall that holds so many memories

 that I painted white 

Where family lives down the street

In the bathroom up the stairs where I was our clothes

Where I lesson to music in the shower

Where the puppy I love to Jupiter 

I buried under a  tree in the yard
