Abandoned

They stand guard
Waiting...
Watching...
Hoping...

When will the 
laughter return?
When will children
again play on
shadow cooled porches?

Where have they
all gone?
When did this
loss happen?

Their windows are
eyes to their souls

Now clouded with
Dust
Handprints outside
instead of In

Everyone grown...
gone...
Building lives
of their own

Leaving us behind
forgotten...
abandoned...
Yet, ever
Hopeful

Always, I wish you peace, joy and happiness, but most of all I wish you Love.

    There is a sadness when houses no longer hold a family.
