Front

Does it look all pretty
Have I done it well
Repaired the facade
So that no one could tell

What it looked like before
How it fell in to disrepair
Unkept and unwanted
No one showed it love or care

Are there any cracks still showing
Do the doors look grand
Strong and resistant
To the abuse that is planned

I think so, and I hope you do too
They've turned a corner, all brand new

Does he look better
All fit and well
Repaired the facade
So that none could ever tell

What had happened before
How it almost came to an end
Save for the actions
Of a devoted friend

Are there cracks showing
Yes, I'm afraid that there are
Can't be filled with love or mortar
New house or a new car

Can't be repaired easily
And the damage won't fully go away
Looks like some remnants
Are forever here to stay

I think so, though I'd hoped it wasn't true
Wish you'd turn a corner and be back to you
