Her

Her

A home cares

and nurtures many

for those with a dollar

and those with a penny

The house shelters

gentle and kind

A place any spirit

would seek to find

It breathes life

into the clay

into its bricks

day after day

And as it ages

as the time passes

it is judged

by the masses

And in repayment

for its past

it is replaced

for a sleeker cast.

Knocked down

and apart

broken to pieces

a shattered heart.
