A Log Cabin of Long Ago
In a log cabin out in the Wild West
Many tumultuous years ago
A family cuddled and found sweet rest
By their potbellied wood-burning stove
A tall candle burned bright in the window
The harsh, cold wind beat upon the door
Everyone had done their evening chores
And now had circled the warm wood stove
A golden glow filled the old log cabin
All were safe and secure from all fright
They sang favorite songs of love’s refrain
Well into the fierce and stormy night
God is witness to the good life therein
That tiny room, by human measure
But it was more than a cabin to them
It was a mansion filled with treasures
For under this roof, a family dwelt
Genuine love filled their grateful hearts
More than a thousand books could never tell
Of such love that never tears apart
