The man lived all alone now
except for his dog, Boo.
Way up in the snowy woods
It was cold there, Oh, so true.
![](Christmas_Cabin_files/wintercolorsbuttonredbird.jpg)
It had been his life long dream
for he and his cherished wife.
After he was to be retired
This was to be their new life.
![](Christmas_Cabin_files/wintercolorsbuttontree.jpg)
But his wife became sick
soon after he retired.
And just a short time later
His lovely wife had expired.
The man went on grieving
for many a year.
He'd almost lost his will to live
Then he decided, he'd cried enough tears.
![](Christmas_Cabin_files/wintercolorsbuttonyellowbird.jpg)
There was an ad in the newspaper
It said *Cabin For Sale*,
Way out in the woods.
His dream would not fail.
![](Christmas_Cabin_files/wintercolorsbuttoncabin.jpg)
His wife's favorite holiday
was Christmas, for sure.
She always sang Christmas carols
while stroking Boo's fur.
This was a real Christian family
One who believed in Christmas.
Jesus, the real reason for this season
They would never let pass.
![](Christmas_Cabin_files/wintercolorsbuttonredbird.jpg)
After purchasing the cabin
It was time to decorate.
This had always been the wife's job.
But now it was to be his fate.
![](Christmas_Cabin_files/wintercolorsbuttontree.jpg)
As Boo lay sleeping by the fireplace
so quietly on the big round rug,
The man set out to work
warming the cabin all toasty and snug.
Then he put up a beautiful
large tree
and decorated it just right.
In the memory of his beloved wife
This was going to be all right.
![](Christmas_Cabin_files/wintercolorsbuttonyellowbird.jpg)
It was a manly looking cabin
even with all the candles and lights.
And when he was all finished,
Oh, my, what a beautiful sight.
![](Christmas_Cabin_files/wintercolorsbuttoncabin.jpg)
The fireplace flames danced and flickered
The flames all aglow.
His memories consuming him,
Oh, how they did flow. God had been good to him.
Had given him a special wife.
Together they worshipped God
For His life and sacrifice.
![](Christmas_Cabin_files/wintercolorsbuttonredbird.jpg)
They both knew when the
end of time came.
When God looked in *The Book of Life*
He would find their names.
![](Christmas_Cabin_files/wintercolorsbuttontree.jpg)
So the man goes on living in his
little cabin in the woods.
Enjoying his many memories.
Oh, his God has been so good.
![](Christmas_Cabin_files/wintercolorsbuttonyellowbird.jpg)
His dream had come true
even though his wife was gone.
He is not alone.
He still has nature and his God.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
