home is were the heart is

this house once a master pieces
created with hopes and dreams
plans of glass set with care
boards placed with loving hands

foundation laid with sweat and tears
structure built with fate in mind
a place of wonder and of awe
societies rich and adored

this house a home to those within
a sanctuary from the world outside
now stands bare and bleak
paint cracked and fading streaks

still a home to those long gone
whom wonder aimlessly inside
unaware of their true fate
haunting figures not laid to rest

    All of this is terrific, but the fourth and fifth stanza really say so much. These are the types of things I wonder about old houses, and the basis for great ghost stories! Well done. Thanks so much for entering my contest and good luck!
