tired but content
happily resigned to their reality
the ceiling sags
the faded walls show no signs of wanting fresh colour
the walls are old and content
not wanting to delude themselves with the latest fashion
afraid fresh paint would hide happy memories
of simple times
plain and good
the walls miss the days filled
with sounds of kids (now with kids and walls of their own)
rushing to catch the school bus
but reality tempers nostalgia
the idea of going back to that time is exhausting
they did the work
now stand content
happy in their memories
