@+e Forum In a Secluded Wood

  In a secluded wood a lonely house sits Amongst the trees looking forlorn Until the winter and the Snow Light up and relieve all the gloom Its pathway now covered in a white blanket And the steps now slippery with Ice However, its lights glow like a beacon Causing the whole house to glow As the smoke pours out from its chimney on high A white streak going up into the sky It looks like a picture from a Christmas card A warm welcome I am sure, would be had inside To sit beside the raging fires One in every room To toast some bread, bake some spuds A jolly time would be had by all In fact, I know it would You see, it’s where I grew up as a child A house full of love and laughter Memories never forgotten As I walk down the lane, the steps remain But the house is now a ruin It is such a shame when things come to an end But sadly time marches on Moreover, my childhood was long ago Oh to rebuild it to its former glory But the pictures I remember Assure that its lives on forever
