This house has been condemned and boarded up for as long as I can remember

No entry has been granted in years

The sounds of joy has long since vanished from its walls

It has been thought to never see entry again

That is….

Until you decided to trespass on its borders

Bringing with you a glimmer of light, casting off darkened walls

An oh so familiar warmth from its flame

You’ve chosen to take on this task…

The task of remodeling this downtrodden residence

Tearing down barriers and building back walls

Strengthing its inner structure, all while restoring its outer beauty

Putting the feeling of love back in this domain

Planting flowers of beauty in it gardens once again

And you do this with no underlying reason, but to show that you care

This is why I cherish the sweat equity you’ve bestowed on this property

As this beat down, dirty, eyesore was my heart, void of all life and love

But you saw its great potential and poured your soul into it

And caused its property value to skyrocket

Now it has been taken off the market

Only to be inhabited by you…
