Searching high <br />searching low, <br />loved my old place <br />but it’s time to go. <br />Need more space <br />and a fresh, clean start. <br />Have so much to do, <br />and my own part <br />is just the beginning... <br />paint chips and packing, <br />shopping and cleaning; <br />weeks of whirlwind activity. <br />Hope it's all worth it to me, <br />meetings with appraisers <br />and realtors, <br />viewings and showings, <br />don't know how long <br />I can keep going. <br />Selling one, <br />buying another; <br />had no idea <br />this would be such a mother. <br />Then finally a done deal <br />meets with hearty congrats, <br />lots of handshakes and laughter, <br />Enjoy! It’s all yours.... <br />may you live happily ever after. <br />And, at last I have what I wanted <br />where my heart has taken root; <br />my new home-sweet-home... <br />but what an exhausting pursuit.<br /><br />Carolyn Brunelle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-the-move-4/
