The Painted Blue House

Today while coming back home

I saw a big painted blue house

With the big white door

Just like a house in a fairytale book

So I decided to take a closer look

I could see the beautiful painting on the wall through the window

And the room full of pictures of the family

Smiling with love for each other in their eyes

I thought to myself that life is like that for some

it is perfect like this house.

With this and many thoughts in my mind I walked away

Ignorant of the fact that that the painted blue house

Wasn’t even close to perfect

Unaware that the smiling faces in those pictures

Can now only wish to be in the same room together

That the beautiful painting on the wall

Was there to hide the crack

Which they no longer can afford to fix

And that the big white door is shutting so many quarrels

By just being closed

So easily these things were overlooked

But as for the ignorant me it was a perfect blue house

With the big white door

Which had all the happiness in the world

That I couldn’t store….
