BURNT AND GONE <br /> <br />the day it fell to the ground, <br />memories and property all gone in an instant, <br />all burned away into ashes, <br />the flames stood 10 ft high, <br />the screams and cries for so much worked for and all lost, <br />the smirk of the father, <br />the cry of the mother, <br />the screams of the daughter, <br />and the raise of the eye brow on the son expecting bigger, <br />the dramatic looks of the neighbors in the neighborhood, <br />and now we just have to think of options with concern.<br /><br />Serenity Tate<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-loss-in-the-fire/
