Christmas Comes Alive

This our log cabin

that stands along a stream

nestled deep in cozy woods

it weathers the most extreme

Summer's heat, warms us

goes before autumn fine

and winter brought the heavy snow

which drooped our favorite pine

Our hard work fills the wood pile

Much colder times, there will be

I follow my familiar tracks

to seek a Christmas tree

Chairs by the bay window

sit we on our chairs

peering down our long dirt drive

with our children not yet there

Sunrise, sunset was

all the clock we had...

so hours we'll be on the watch

with our dog we call Lad

So softly the snowfall

clings to window sill

Cozy and quiet are these days

snow comforting each small hill

Then at last their car came

bouncing up the drive.

Anticipation answered

and Christmas comes alive
