Closed for Recuperation

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

I always feel sad to pass this party store 

 meant to share happier times. 

But it is closed and standing barren,

now with cloaked windows,

and empty floors –

a sad little building

with days of  fun left behind.  

I like to think it is just resting. 

But the little store stands empty

closed for recuperation,

waiting, waiting, waiting

in perpetual anticipation

for

a party.
