Dream House

I want to build a dream house
Decorate with memories
Paint our dreams upon the walls
Opaque and crystalline

Till we see straight through
All the shades of you and I
When all the things we do
Reminds us of the how and why
We fell in love and decided to stay there
Bricks of faith we built up hope
All our artifices we finally lay bare
Daily devotions of love we show

We put our plans upon a shelf
Read through them in eves at home
Lean upon pillars when we need help
Built of our strength when we're not alone

Warm ourselves by the hearth of both our hearts
Wrap ourselves in blankets of our support
Bring that balm with us when we're apart
The bricks of trust that build our fort

Hang our past in portrait frames
Review the cascade of images together
The roof of comfort, against sun or rain
Solace that we'll survive against any weather

As the paint will fade, the house gathers must
Old couches settled with napping and holding hands
And our stories carried one by those that through here pass

The recollections of this house of dreams and we to understand
