weird moment

and so another
strange and weird day ........

this building
has been my home
for almost 30 years

and now strangers
come in
with a desire to place a monetary value
on a house

they look at the walls
and the roof
but completely miss the heart
of this home

it is here
beating quietly
filled with memories
of babies
friends
songs
words
grandbabies
prayers
dinners
breakfasts
worship times
silent hours
laughter
and tears

yes
it is true
there are some sad memories too
but mostly memories that speak of life
and hope

and how can you place a monetary value
on such a heart

and what will happen to this heart

will I still feel it
when under another roof
and between other walls
