I had a house I called my home
That
I really loved, you see
Until my house burned to the ground
It was not much
to me.
I never realized how much I cared
In all the many ways
I still
remember the blaze of fire
And the fear of death that day.
I was asleep
tucked in my bed
Dreaming in my sleep
Suddenly I was pulled from bed
With
only a gown and bare feet.
Fire! Fire! Everyone screamed
Get out before
it's too late
I looked around inside the house
And screamed "Please don't
take it away!"
I didn't know what to do
So I ran out of the door
My
twin following right behind
Screaming to the top of her voice.
We ran to
the shop where Mom was at work
To tell her about the fire
It seemed like the
blaze and the smoke
Just kept rising higher.
We ran across to my Grandmother's
house
We woke them with screaming and crying
We were filled with hurt and fright
It
seemed that someone was dying.
The firefighters couldn't save our home
It
all went up in flames
We didn't know how the fire had started
So no one was
to blame.
Vehicles, pictures, and personal things
Along with things of
my Dad's
All were lost this very day
And memories are all we have.
