The house where I was born - 24th August

Most likely we all are not actually living in the house where we were born, so what can you tell us about?

The house where I was born

The house where I was born
On a dark winter morn
Was called a Sham Four
It only had one door

We walked into the front room
with a kitchen at the back
Two bedrooms upstairs
But a bathroom it did lack

No yard or grass to play
For we were rather poor
but I did have a happy childhood
So I will say no more

Sounds a lovely home Doreen! I too lived many years in a house without a bath, no problem at that time.

The House where I was born

Still up today once in a while, I feel the urge to visit
The house of my childhood days, still it looks like yesteryear.
Built on the sunshine hillside of a neighbour village
With trees around where I once climbed, now I’d have too much fear.

Below several balconies, just like lined up garlands
A blue Wisteria with strong growth enriched my fantasy.
Soon with new leaves in Spring, bird nests half a dozen,
Stirred daily curiosity and admiration within me.

Summer came and like big grapes, Wisteria blossoms made
The house look like a gift, wrapped with fancy ribbons blue.
Gladly distracted from homework, conjugating verbs,
I sat in our vine tendril house with ice tea and great view.

Time seemed no factor then and the days were a wonderland
I loved this house so much and on memories I spend
Thoughts, whenever I wish to escape noise or any tension.
The comfort from the house where I was born, I feel till my end.

Mystic, good memories you keep within your heart of the fondness you have for your birth home, well done my friend.

The Home of My Birth

I was born in an Army Ward
so many years ago
green in color the painted board
this my Father said so

For those of you who can go back
to see the place of your birth
it's nice to be able to track
back to the home where you came in with a burst
