Saying Goodbye


Saying goodbye to the only home you boys have ever known
Hard not to think about how much you have grown

My feet know every creek on this hardwood floor
I am sure you will leave some tiny fingerprints on the back door

The Christmas tree spot
Easter eggs painted with dots

Brother in my womb
You in the playroom

An oven that made more pizzas than I can count
Seeing you two run about

Laughter and time outs
Quiet time and time to shout

The highs and the lows
Evenings spent playing in the hose

More memories will be made, of this I am sure
They just will not be made looking in THIS front door...
