Sad Sale

We’ve had this house
Since we were kids
'Til many years ago
To sell it now
Seems almost sad
Ridiculous, but so
We really want
To sell it
But after all these years
It has become a
Part of us
Our memories,
Hopes and fears
We had it in those early times
When we were just
Us two
And then our children
Came along
They came to love it too.
The years have passed,
They’ve grown tall
And have a mortgage too.
We now find it doesn’t fit
Since we are back to two.
