Favorite Quote:
“Have courage and be kind.”


There is an old room

Upstairs in the old house

The light is on

Illuminating the unknowing clutter

 

The stairs begin to creak

Under the weight

Of being used

Up to the room He goes

 

He approaches the room

Looks around and sees

All the beautiful clutter

He contemplates

 

Then

After seeing

He reaches over

And turns off the light
