White washed walls

Scrubbed so the surface is smooth

Removing the stains of mistakes and neglect

Primed for new colors of warmth and care

Door jams set straight after life went askew

Trimmed in a high gloss white

Shining in pride and joy

Floors buffed to a glowing earthen shade

Ready to grow roots for a new life

A dwelling of devotion

A retreat for rest

A place of peace
