Ode to the Hole... I'm losing it!

Oh hole, oh hole, where art thou
Our brown canvas lies bare, waiting for you, like the trees waiting for their summer foliage
Our hearts remain empty without thee
Waiting...wishing...desiring for our days to become complete in your company.

Others have found their holes
Like young fawns uniting with their mothers out of the womb
We wait for your presence in our life and to fill you with finest slabs of concrete
To complete you with santa celia granite, saddle brook floors, and soap dish-less showers
For you shall provide the foundation of our daily lives for years to come.

Oh hole....Oh hole

  1. LMBO!! THANKS HENRY!! I NEEDED THAT BECAUSE I LOST IT TOO!

    GREAT POEM!! When are you all suppose to break ground???

    I tell you the agony that comes with building a home and really take its toll.

    I always like to remind people that it took us ten months before we broke ground and I learned a lot about patience; BUT sometimes, it kicks it and all is LOST!! I am really working on gratitude right now!

    Thanks for putting this UP!!

    2. LOL! As far as we know January 2nd is still the day. As long as the rain stays away!! 10 MONTHS!! That is a long time and good for you for practicing gratitude. I will be grateful when I see a hole...and then a framed house...and then closing! This dirt thing is starting to get old, how many times can you look at dirt?! I have so tried to be patient, but as it gets closer it is so difficult!

  3. That was hilarious! I completely understand what you're going through. We waited just over two weeks for our groundbreaking and it felt like an eternity! It'll be here before you know it.
