A House filled with Gloom

A small pitter patter

On the white windowsill

The days passed, day and night

But it felt like all life stood still


The kids played ball

The mailman rode his bike

The new moms pushed their strollers

And the little babies laughed while being pushed up that hike


But in that little house

Thunderstorms loomed

Rain fell

A house filled with gloom


Everyday people passed

What they saw was just another house

A lively house 

But they never knocked or cared to look for what was inside

But if they had

They would have seen the true house

The house filled with gloom
