    THE BUILDING

    ~^~

    Far far out in
    The middle of no where
    Sits this old house
    With bell on top
    When so ring
    The people comes
    In times of peace
    Even a gatherin of somethin wrong
    The fields surroundin it seen quite and unused
    Yet the path be travel on
    Sundays when meetin are so held
    And in times of war are a bettle many will flock
    Never judge a buildin by site along
    Many seen empty
    Yet may just be
    A safe haven for someone
    Are somethin in time of need

    FRONTIER RELIC

    Back in the old days, on the plains,
    when sturdy pioneers took pains
    to make a homestead, grow their food,
    their children were educated
    at home or in school created
    by all hands, for the common good,.
    Dust Bowl blew the families off
    with a smothering, choking cough.
    Now remnants of past lives, in wood.

    WITHIN THESE WALLS

    She stands alone now,
    her classrooms empty,
    her swings clanging
    one against the other
    as the hot August winds
    carry with them
    memories of another day,
    another time.

    And as I approach
    her now-silent walls,
    I still hear the laughter
    of children playing
    their games of tag
    and hide-and-seek
    and marbles
    in the dusty yard.

    And the dry days of August
    begin to give way
    to brilliant golds and reds,
    as the children of autumn
    return to begin a new
    school year adventure,
    sunburned and eager
    to share another
    summer vacation
    before being tucked away
    for safekeeping
    in that place
    where precious memories
    of youth are kept.
