Living in Your Childhood Home

Some friends who live in their parent’s house,

Posted new photos on Facebook today. 

So many memories in their house,

Decades before the parents passed away.

Some friends remodeled everything,

The kitchens, rugs, repaints…

A few retained everything sacred,

As if their parents were saints.

Others threw up a for sale sign,

Selling the entire family estate;

Posing like they were successful,

Selling the guest house on the lake.

My best friends for years, did nothing.

Seldom speaking, they often cried.

They procrastinated any decisions,

While comprehending their parents died.
