An old house. Lewis P.

The protagonist of the poem by J. Patrick Lewis - the old house - tells the reader his story and captivates him on time in time. Under the roof of the house, people get married, grow children, go to war and receive news of the death of loved ones. Generations replace each other, and while there are tenants in the house, his heart continues to fight.
