Poem
The wood that built the place I see Came from a forests far away It's age is hard to guess But every knot knows life's quest By the looks of it I'd say It is pine Can it trace it's life Back to creation time Was it singed by the commet That once came to land And was responsible for the end Of the dinosaur clan? Did it survive the great flood While Noah and the animals patiently bobbed along And Finally came to earth With a Hallulia song Or was it a seed that traveled along As the ice age swept the land And managed to plant itself On a very distant plain For centuries it did survive It's young gathered round Until that fatel day A man with a saw, hapt to pass it's way It's life as it had known it Was never more It'd been turned into a barn For animals and chores It's life finally met defeat And for a century or so Was once again subject to The winds, the rain, the snow When I finally found it It was then I did know This disheveled structure Could heal my heart and soul I bought it and with loving care With every board I did share The love and memories of my years And blessed them all with precious tears And now we sit and share the years These boards of pine and me And know that it was fate itself That set our souls free
