Out house

In our garden

we have an old outhouse

It is as old as the house,

but years of rain and snow

has made the roof heavy to carry.

The wood is rotten and soft

the tiles are broken

There was an outdoor toilet in the out house

On the walls there is written messages from the past:

"7/5-58 I love Eric"

If you ever have met an old house like this

you will know that these buildings has souls

In the walls they have stories about

people and times

Our out house has an old and tired soul

It is kneeling of old age

and could bring danger if it fell

The decision has been made
The old outhouse is going down on wednesday
The door is closed for the last time
and it's not without sadness!

Honey

When the sore throats call,

or just for the comfort of it

When I was a little girl

there was a nice elderly woman who came to look after us

while my parents was at work.

I loved her, and she was so warm hearted and nice.

Sometimes when I was hungry

after having played outside

I came in to our kitchen, and asked for a slice of bread.

I always wanted honey on it, cause she was so generous

and spread a load of the sweet stuff on.,

with butter underneath.

That was sweet heaven!

Every once in a while

I treat myself, and then,

I always think of her.
