Past Homes
The fireplace cackled welcomingly,
As I walked into the room,
My first day at school had gone spiffingly,
And I hadn’t even spent the day watching a mushroom.
We moved again,
The smell of fresh paint clawed at my nose
I looked through the window at Big Ben.
I walked out the door my family blew me kiss and let the door close.
I still remember our first house
It still feels so real,
I even remembered the mouse!
If we were to go back I don’t know how I would feel,
I will remember each home,
Even that silly garden gnome.
