It was really hard for me to pull up roots:<br /><br />The Legacy<br />©1994 by Susan Noyes Anderson, The Lyric<br /><br />Old house, you held a family in your womb.<br />You stood upon the soil with warmth and grace,<br />a sanctuary and a birthing place,<br />nurturing life and love in every room.<br />You watched the hearty agapantha bloom<br />with every child, secure in your embrace,<br />providing boundaries bathed in high-beamed space;<br />your orange-blossomed peace a sweet heirloom.<br />No last goodbyes will echo through our sleep;<br />you ‘ll be no long-forgotten, empty shell.<br />We mined our roots, but found the veins too deep;<br />in leaving you, we left ourselves as well.<br />Each broken, earth-bound fiber yours to keep.<br />Each golden, lonely secret yours to tell.Susan Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049586085703324088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-42141643071681438712013-01-04T18:12:00.979-05:002013-01-04T18:12:00.979-05:00Love the igloo!

We had put so much love into that home. I almost wanted to interview the perspective buyers to see if they would love this home like I did. It is still my favorite home with many memories; but the new one is now bringing to pass more awesome memories. <br />Have a great move and New Year and blessings to you all!LeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107717294803352571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-50840848349091032432013-01-03T22:37:07.611-05:002013-01-03T22:37:07.611-05:00Such wise words!

We just moved into a new house. It has been loved and cared for. It is such a blessing to move into a house with trees that are <em>already</em> mature and a home that has been well kept. I'm sure that those who moved into your old house are super grateful. :)<br /><br />2. Isn't it amazing - to be married to someone who is wise and helps us to feel comforted and see truth? I often feel that way with my own husband. I love that I can talk to him, and that though he can often sympathize with me, he can also see things I can't and helps me to be happier.<br /><br />Thanks for your posts and example...and have fun with your new home and baby! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
