That Little Cabin
Filled With Memories
April 26,2010
By Rose Marie Rideout

Oh but I remember it so well,
I have it sketched within my mind
That day the  sun shined through every raindrop,
The day I laid my eyes upon yours.
You told me you were a loner, I said I’m lost,
You invited me in for tea brewing on the old stove.
You couldn’t wait to show me your interest,
Your pride, your work, your words.
I listened to everything you had to say,
As I wondered how can I get closer to you,
How could I make you a part of me.
Dark overtook the sky, the rain fell harder,
Could I find my way back to my cabin,
Did I really want to?
It was warm and cozy right here beside you,
Of course being the gentleman you are,
You asked me to stay the night,
You promised me you would respect me,
And I knew you would.
The thunder hit hard and rain poured harder,
I wondered was this meant to be.
We sat by the fire for hours talking,
About the past, present and the future,
Our dreams, our plans were the same,
We knew, we were meant to be,
Meant to be together forever,
Why did I lose my way, why did I panic,
It was all part of God’s plan,
We kissed, we touched, we longed for each other,
That little cabin filled with precious memories,
 Will always be a part of you and me.
Here we are years into the future,
Fulfilling our dreams and plans together,
With our precious memories from that little cabin.
