The Castle now Stands in Ruins

The castle now stands in ruins
Before it are sad eyes, filled with tears

Almost eighty years ago
Brick by brick a house was built
So much of laughter
Joy abounded
Many tears and also times of loss
It has seen it all
Three generations, abundant lives

Twenty seven years ago a little waked in
This was to be her home
It was not just a home
It was her castle
This place was special
It was the only place she called home
The orphanage was no home

So many memories, some sweet, some bitter
Here is where bond between father and daughter grew
This was the place where she said her goodbyes as he lay still and cold in a coffin
It was here that she ran to and fro from her loving fathers arms
Birthdays, family gatherings, many treasured times and wonderful memories

Now she stands before her home
Her castle which is no longer hers to call her own
Heavy is the burden on her heart
Heavy is the burden on her soul
Unknown men walk in and out through her safe place
Brick by brick they destroy
Watching, she feels violated
The castle now stands in ruins
Before it are sad eyes, filled with tears
