Empty House – A Poem

By: Theresa C. Richardson

Will you smile at the treasures

or frown at the junk?

Will you be moved to tears

going through my trunk?

Will you sit in my chair

and have a last thought?

Will you look through my checks

to see what I bought?

You'll take down the pictures

that made me smile.

You'll gather my dishes

into a pile.

Drink a cup of my memory

and have a good cry.

Do what you need

in order to get by.

Put it to use or

sale what you must.

But don't let my things,

sit around and collect dust.

When you pack my books up

do it with care

for I have lots

of good memories there.

Dishes in my sink

and clothes in the dryer;

a half written poem...

My journal makes me a liar.

Walk to my window

and stand there for me.

Put yourself in my shoes

to see how I see.

Open my mail

and read all my letters.

Maybe, just maybe

you'll get to know me better.

	RedWillow ♥ My Place in the...wrote: You really finished me with this one. Wow. I have just gotten past the 5th year off one of my Very Bestfriends passing from pneumonia ,My Mom and all I could think of was her when I read this. It really took me right to her and her home and back to mine.. and to some of the things that happened. Moving beyond words. May 17
	Happy Flowerwrote: Oh Theresa this is so lovely, the rhythm has such a lovely lilt, rather like a lullaby. I really like the line, my journals make me a liar, that catch of public/private self. What a wise description of public/private self (or selves) and our desire that others know us, even while we still keep those distances while alive. You caught that paradox so well. Thank you May 6
	Trish Cardenwrote: Great! I loved it! MOM May 6
	Petrawrote: What a great poem!!! I think this is my new favorite of yours! May 4
	Diannewrote: When I read this poem, I did not think at first of myself but others who I love who have already passed on to the next life, it brings back memories of my loved ones, and it makes me think of others in my life who will one day say goodbye also and that makes me feel sad when I think of my great loss. I hope and pray I can make and leave many good memories for those who love me also and that my life really will make a difference and somehow count for Eternity. Yesterday is full of memories, the present is a Gift and tomorrow may not be ours. Therefore I want to live life to the fullest for tomorrow may or may not be mine. Beautiful and thoughtful poem about apart of life, we don't often think about and tend to avoid. xx's Dianne :) May 3
	Touchwrote: Makes me wonder what will happen to my thing when I'm gone. It had never entered my mind before. Thanks for giving me another avenue to explore Theresa. Have a great week. May 3

	Sheilawrote: As I read that I thought of death. After my grandmother died, my dad and my aunts had to go through her things and decide what to do with each item. Some things she had listed who she wanted to have them, others were to go wherever. One thing we did find was some old letters from other family members and a little story she wrote about her dad. It was amazing to read those and learn things about her I didn't know before. May 1
	Peter Cantelonwrote: Really, really good. Makes me think. Beautiful. May 1
