Building Up A Home

I start as a foundation walls being made, being dug low, cement being poured, gallons and gallons drying up. The fresh smell of wood cut into pieces. Got a big hat, it's very flat. I got more walls and one big helmet. Got a few windows and a new paint job. Got a lot of grass in the front and back. Fence is being built, gotta keep the hairs out of my grass. Got a little balcony, got the floorboards on me. Got a homey kitchen, I look extra new. Got a sign saying For Sale. Two weeks later I got sold. People moved in and they called me home. I am filled with memories watching a little baby grow and grow. He learned how to walk, then learned to talk. He drew on me and he went to school. When he came back he yelled I'm home! He saw a lot of boxes and his family said they were moving. Once they were about to go the kid yelled, “thanks I will remember you!” Then a new family moved in. Then it started all over again.,
