  • VENERABILITY

    Some of us age gracefully,
    Some of us don't live that long,
    Some of these buildings have aged beautifully,
    Long lived, hale and strong.

    Each has its own story,
    Wish I knew a few of them,
    Lives lived, some gory,
    Some peaceful, deserving a diadem.

    Others fitted into,
    Triangular lots,
    Doing business with the new,
    Filling their slots.

    And some stick out their chests,
    Bragging their years,
    Much like rooster's crests,
    That's dignity my dears.

    And castles were some,
    No moaty ditches,
    But towers of stone with a dome,
    Might have been a witches.

    Might I age rightly,
    As many as these have,
    Present a face as sprightly,
    Maybe give it a lave ?

  • I love old buildings.  I work for a construction company that does high end, large scale remodeling and although our finished product is always beautiful, sometimes I'm sad to see the old disappear.  Then again, maybe it's just another chapter in the building's history.

  • Enjoyed the pictures of the older homes. They have such personality that new ones in the majority don't.

  • "Might I age rightly?"  My wish as well!
