For my Great-Grandma:
From your Great-daughter Willow Rose
In her house where antique treasures slept and wooden floors their secrets kept.
The clocks on the walls would tick and chime, guarding our laughter, guarding our time
Every corner held something old
Silver frames and trims of gold
China cups and dusty books
Stories hiding in quiet Nooks
The children ran through every room
Grand kids chasing away the gloom
With sticky hands and Halloween grins
Pillowcases filled to the brim
Trick-or-treat nights cold and bright
Costumes glowing in porchlight white,
And Uncle Chuck in Santa's suit
Ho-Ho-Hoing in heavy boots
We'd laugh so hard our sides would ache
From jokes he'd tell and moves he'd make
And Grandma watching, eyes aglow
Loving the magic we didn't know
There was candy in crystal bowls
So old the wrappers hid their souls
Unwrap a piece? you couldn't tell if it
was caramel... or something else as well
Still we'd smile and take one too
Because it came from her and that we know
The clocks still tick somewhere in time
But none will ever sound the same chime
The antiques may gather dust on shelves
But they once witnessed our truest selves
She wasn't just the house or things
She was the warmth that memory brings
The steady hands, the gentle cheer
The reason we all gathered there
And through the rooms are quiet now
I still can see her some how
IN every chime, in Santa's laugh,
In trick or treating on windy paths
Time moves on, it always will, but her love?
It's in that house, and it's with us still
