The Cabin
![]() photo © NovaDean
There's a cabin in a
meadow,
Nestled close against the
trees...
Scraggly flowers still are
growing,
And wave gently in the
breeze.
The logs are weathered, far from
new,
Give off a pungent
smell,
From wood that's old, yet has
withstood,
Decades of years quite
well.
The craftsmanship speaks
highly,
Built by determined
man...
Who kept it's lines
quite simple,
Did not use a floor
plan.
By standing quiet and
listening,
I can almost hear him
say,
"My love this is your brand new
home,
It's here we'll always
stay.
The main room is for
cooking,
The view is down the
hill...
The fireplace will warm
us,
Against cold winter's
chill.
There's a tiny room just for
us,
That will hold a metal
bed...
Our kids will climb the
ladder,
To the loft that's
overhead.
They will sleep on feather
pallets,
That encase them in their
down...
There is space for all our
laughter,
But there's no room for a
frown."
I wonder who those people
were,
And where they may
have gone...
Still there is evidence of
them,
In cabin that stands
strong.
