No posters or pictures
The floor stands clear
No furniture or toys to cover it
Quiet and still the house stands
No kids crying or yelled
No running in and out
No smells of cookies in the oven
The house stands there waiting for a family
To make it normal again
With posters and pictures
Furniture and toys
Crying and yelling
Running inside and outside
Ands smells of cookies in the oven
Until then the house stands still.
