OWNER OF A HOUSE

I am the owner of a house
Surrounded by the fields of grass
A house with many rooms to spare
And there are many who live there.
Though all the walls and floors and stairs
Are in a state of disrepair
The house has windows everywhere
And views to take your breath away.

I walked around
Went up and down
And spoke to everyone I found
Listened to the stories they would tell.
And then the purpose filled my mind
To find a hammer and a broom
Restore the building room by room.
A house like this
With so much space
Must surely have a special place
A special use
In framing these breathtaking views.

I have the key to every door
To every room on every floor
And I can finally explore
The space within these solid walls.

I walked around
Went up and down
And spoke to everyone I found
Listened to the stories they would tell.
And then the purpose filled my mind
To find a hammer and a broom
Restore the building room by room.
A house like this
With so much space
Must surely have a special place
A special use
In framing these breathtaking views.
