On Prospect Hill

We make our home on Prospect Hill,
Our prosperous hearts Prospect still.

A two story house,
Corner of Maple and Howe,
Filled with history,
Ours begins now.

Uneven floors, her
Plaintiff creaks of old age,
Speak to us daily,
Like a wise sage.

Her warm wood embrace
Is both solid and supple,
Supporting our love as a couple.
Picture
In the years to come
And the layers of paint,
We will brush our lives
Cozy and quaint.

We make our home
On Prospect Hill,
Our prosperous hearts
Prospect still.
