Where has all the laugher gone? <br /> In this house that was a home, <br /> That echoed from the rafters, <br /> Before the children roamed, <br /> Where is all the happiness? <br /> That made this house home. <br /> That caressed and blessed, this haven of a home. <br /> Where is all the pitter-patter of tiny dimpled feet, <br /> That toddled here and toddled there, from all <br /> who were so sweet. <br /> Where is all the laughter, mingling with the tears. <br /> That's disappeared along with time, <br /> And the passing of the years.<br /><br />Edna Mae Donaldson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/laugher-and-tears/
