Will it be just the same?

Will the walls be just the same? If my scribbling were to be cleared

New paints to adorn it, new wall hangings appeared

Will the doors be just the same? If the dust was dusted

The polish to shine through, old name boards ousted

Will the floors be just the same? If the mess was to be cleaned up

New floor mats for the décor or did new foot prints turn up?

Will the smile be just the same? If the spark in the eyes was to fade

New crinkles round the corner as endless seasons it tries to evade…

Will it ever be just the same…???
