As a kid I loved to build houses
I made so many for my friends
For their birds & their mouse
I wanted to build one beautiful house for my mom & dad
All said I was a crazy lad
I chose every wood, every interior carefully
All I wanted was to decorate it beautifully
Green walls, white french windows
A beautiful snow white door & a patio
A garden in the backyard & a pond I imagined
At 32 today, I see my dream fulfilled
I made the house for them like i imagined
I see smiles on my parents and eyes filled
I made a house, my parents made it a home
All that love, that has happened & yet to come
I promise myself today.
I would keep their face smiling & happy everyday
