Old Cottage Home My abandoned old cottage home sat slated amongst the green Built with rough hands and field stones dry mortar in between Nestled beneath the mountain amongst the pine The ash the oak winding down dark back roads of time Brought back to life by the desire not to let go wind still howls through the valley like banshees of long ago Rain fell on the half hour as the fire burnt hot Plenty of dinners were cooked over with a swinging pot If the walls could speak I’m sure they’d fill an endless book Happy times, hard times, sad times they all undertook Sentiment called upon me to go back in time To revive the past so its future could withstand the test of time Reclaim a once forgotten piece of my old history Bring back the forgotten dwelling for my children to see And so alas preservation has worked its rough hands to the bone To reclaim from nature’s grasp my abandoned old cottage home
