I will remember the fact of my old address

I will remember the smell of the old house

I will remember how many times I cried

Laughed

Hoped

Fell

I will relish the memories of what transpired

Between these walls

I will remember it as home

Even when I am away

I will think of it

Often if not every day

As I begin a new journey

With a new home and center

How these memories will serve me

To learn and to grow

The facts will grow faint

While the memories will always stay

In my home
