Solid Rock

Home, sweet home.

My house is sturdy
-Never will it flood-
It's walls are
Safety
-Each room
Lit with love-
My house knows all:
when dad walks in,
mom gets a call,
sister reads a book,
brother
learning to crawl.

My house smiles,
When we're together
And frowns when we
Fight
My house creaks ,
Dad is uptight
My house levels,
Brother riding a bike.
My house warns me,
"Fire! Fire!"
And calls
9-1-1
My house
Locks it's windows
(burglar on the run).

My house is, shelter
My house is, friend
My house
Is our beginning
My house is
The end.
My house will not fail me
Unless I burn it down
-still faithful-
My house will always find me
(as I move
town to town)

When I am weak
My house is strong,
"Little Wants To Him Belong"
My house knows:
my house sings along,
those simple words to
my favorite song.

Excellent thought indeed.

A very unique theme. seems your house is built on Jesus Christ.JK.
Nice creativity Meli.

Thank you enrick, and yes the "house" represents Christ.

[Glen Yumang Manese]

Seems the house is the all seeing eye... the spirit... a home isn't much without it... the way you transform this makes the reader convinced the house is more than just a safe haven... but a complete member of the family...

I like how you used the word "the spirit" because I was wanting the house to represent God :)

The "ties that bind" so starkly illuminated by this fine piece of writing. I love the way that you used the "house" so metaphorically. The house could be tangible, or it could be your refuge or your sanctuary, your family or even that part of yourself that you have come to trust and rely upon. So many ways to interperet this fine little tale. Nicely written...a favorite of mine.

What I love, and admire most about this the way it can be interpreted in so many different ways. The way I interpreted it was a house is what holds a family together, no matter how many houses you may live in, or where they are. Loved it. Very beautiful.
