This House Speaks

I have passed this house A hundred times, or more But I never entered through it's door I hear it calling me Come inside and you will see This house is full of history. This house speaks but I keep walking I hear it calling me Come inside and you will see This house is full of memories. One of these days I will step inside And who can say what in there lies I will climb those stairs And enter the rooms look out the windows And watch the flowers bloom. This house speaks but I keep walking I hear it calling me Come inside and you will see This house is full of serenity . This house has stories it can tell A tale of laughter, a tale of joy Now left empty all has gone This house survives and carries on. This house speaks but I keep walking I hear it calling me Come inside and you will see This house can be your destiny. The history The memories The serenity Everything a house should be.

Old derelict houses fascinate me, I find myself wondering how they looked in their hey day, what secrets they hold etc, you've conveyed it all so well here.
