Houses of Cards

Walter Holstad on Dec 12, 2009

A simple song.

Houses of Cards

Our houses of cards

So delicately placed

Waiting but for a breeze

To be displaced

It could so easily

All come down

But for the friends

Which around us surround

Shielding breezes

Holding sneezes

Adding glue

And attaching pieces

I Pray today

Our proud displays

Will weather it all

Come what may
