House And Home Poem by Jim Yerman

This year our house needed some renovations...
new paint...new roof...new door.
There's always something in a house
that needs to be restored.

But when I stop to wonder...
You don't need the wisdom of a sage
to understand a house may weather...
but a home improves with age.

Our house grows old by shielding us
from summer's heat and winter's freeze...
While our home stays young forever
when we add memories.

Perhaps that's the reason we renovate...
we shine our steel and chrome...
To keep our house looking fresh and new..
So our memories have a home.
