Our Hearts are like houses
When we make a new friend, we build a new room
The same thing happens when our family gets larger
When we are no longer friends with someone, you put a new friend in the room
But it’s different when you lose a family member
It’s harder to put someone else in that room
So instead we turn off the lights out and let the dust build up

2 years ago and 1 day, I wrote this. Shortly after my Greatgran passed away. So I guess this is my real first poem that I wrote
