Bea's House, Too

Hearts will heal here.
Eyes will shine
and laughter will echo through the tops of trees
and across the water.

Rest will come here.
Rain will fall
and work out the worry held in the crevices
of our furrowed brows.

Paths will cross here.
Memories
will be made and saved and tethered to history
already in these walls.

Love will live here.
Strong and sure
as the oak and stone that frames the rooms
and holds them true.

Hearts will heal, Rest will come, Paths will cross, Love will live.

Bea's House, Too sits on a perfect acre or two on Lake Barkely just outside of Cadiz, KY. It was built by two good friends - one with a relentless sense of history and the other with relentless sense. The oak is from the former's Grandmother Bea's home - oak and poplar logs and beams a hundred years old or better, saved when Bea's was torn down just off the Natchez Trace to make way for something less important. So Bea's house became Bea's House, Too, a place preserved in love...and a place where love is preserved.
