Under One Roof Poem by Patricia Grantham
Under One Roof
A good neighbor way back when
Wasn't so very hard to find
They shone like a rare jewel
And was only one of a kind
Gathered together as a family
Were united in love and peace
Sat and sung under an old oak tree
Laughter never seeming to cease
Some gave freely of their bounty
What their Father had to bestow
Shared what was in their garden
Whatever they were able to grow
Life wasn't always a bed of roses
Was sometimes up and at times down
Had no time to look down their noses
Lived only where love and peace abound
When time of heartaches and sorrow nears
Bowing of heads and shedding of tears
Bounded together as if under one roof
In a bond of love was their only proof

nowadays has drawn families apart. Still there is hope.
Lived only where love and peace abound When time of heartaches and sorrow nears Bowing of heads and shedding of tears Families together as if under one roof In a bond of love was their only proof Can it be expected during these days. So far i understand they do not have any interaction. they do know names of each other. Thanks for sharing this beautiful write.
A lovely painting of a true lovable neighbor. Such a close bonding and fellow feeling makes a good neighbor who is more than a relative even. A good neighbor who stays on the next door makes a person more confident and happy.... Beautiful
There was such a beautiful time when neighbours lived in love and harmony sharing the produce of their toil with others and staying together in weal and woe as the members of a family! But unfortunately those times are gone and life has grown much more mechanical! No one has time to enquire about the well being of others, not even the time to say a hello to the next door neighbour! Great write, Pat!
Bond of love so beautifully presented in the poem. I enjoyed every line in the poem. Life is full with neighbors around. Thank you.
