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
