An ode to this house: You loved me once. I am certain that you did. Now, on these cold and lonely nights, I will your spirits back and once again a warm light to glow in my window and roaring fires in my hearths. Happy voices to once again fill the house, fragrant cooking scents waft from my kitchen, and when night settles in, you dream sweet dreams in my large bedrooms. As long as I have strength to remain standing, you will dwell here and I will welcome and shelter you.
