Within the cabin lanterns glow,
to keep the darkness in its place
and there in front of fire he lies,
soft amber warmth upon his face.

He built this cabin by a stream,
to live alone, away from man.
He traps and gardens for his food
and from the stream there's gold to pan.

As shadows dance upon the walls
and snow falls quietly in the night,
his aching heart can find no rest.
Another poem of her, he'll write.

One day while walking hand in hand,
a car did strike and kill his wife.
His precious love forever lost,
it stole the joy from his life.

That hearts can bear such agony,
a miracle, to him, it seems.
Each day and night alone in pain,
to only visit her in dreams.

They'd always planned to settle here
and build a cabin such as this,
together to live out their lives,
but of that hope they were to miss.

He rises and wipes fog from panes,
through window, views her lonely grave
and whispers words of love to her,
tells how he's trying to be brave.

When morning comes he'll take the poem,
like all the rest that he did write,
with ribbons, tie it to her cross,
then speak to her 'til it is night.
