[bodytext] => We Built A Mansion Born from many of my dreams Built by the sweat of my brow With the help of my father/'/s Know how The basement stands so tall and proud Most of the worlds business goes on down there Not so loud but always a crowd Movers and shakers Deals being done You can find all kinds there Even the Quakers The hardcore moneymakers As you walk up the stairs The air is so much cleaner there Made to admire Nothing for sale or to acquire Beautifully furnished So serene, always clean Just there to tour And nothing more A walk up the other stairs Is a sight to see Only for my family and me I share the space With my mom and pop It/'/s so big, all the kids Come to play, skip and hop. There is even a kitchen Way up top All kinds of cookies and candies Even the kids gum drops I try not to be mean But I/'/m a stickler So it must be kept really clean Up into the attic It/'/s so peaceful and serene I often go there You know, just to be free There is a stairway That leads to a locked door Only God has its key No, not even me. Only the chosen can open the door Once you walk up those stairs Open the door You can/'/t come back anymore My father last November Walked those same stairs God gave him the key Sometimes I wish it was me Gone for now He followed the light Off to a better place His future forever Shall shine bright Dedicated to my father........ 6/4/34 to 11/7/15 From a calming dream I often have.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
