Who Am I?

First theres a house,
empty and alone.
Along comes some kids
and now its a home.
The laughter and pounding
of small bare feet
fill its walls
with a joyful beat
Then along comes the sixth
a rough green eyed girl
followed by Annie
then Zachary Earl
she'd giggle and laugh
as she went through the day
working and riding
and raking the hay
when darkness would fall
and the stars came to play
out on the tramp
with her friends she would lay
looking up at the stars
that twinkled and shone
passing on knowledge
not many have known
the years have rolled on
and the kids have all grown
things are now different
but one thing is true
that home still has love
where they learned and they grew
