Dings in the wall,
Carpet a little worn,
Dirt in the window sill,
The door so adorn.

What was once my life,
isn't any more.
With so many changes--
a lot for sure.

I look back at life's lessons
With a little sorrow,
And look back and smile
It'll be better tomorrow.

A lesson was taught
A lesson's been learned
A family, yes we are
And forever earned.

Goodbye to the house,
And hello to the free.
For tomorrow is come
For him and for me.
