THE LOG HOUSE AT THE END OF THE LANE

My mother wrote this back in 1952. Her mother, my grandmother, had passed away giving birth to her 12th child.  This happened when my mother was 4 years old. 

This is not am actual picture of the LOG HOUSE AT THE END OF THE LANE mentioned in the poem.

THE LOG HOUSE AT THE END OF THE LANE

My eyes are filled with tear drops

My heart is filled with pain

I can't help but remember

The log house at the end of the lane.

 

Each year I go back to that old log shack

That stands at the end of the lane

And while I was there I'd hear Mother's Prayers

And I'd relive it all over again.

 

The last time I saw that ole log shack

Everything was much the same

I could see her chair in front of the fire

And I could hear her call my name.

 

One morning when I was four

I went rushing down the stairs

My mom was lying on the couch

My father was kneeling there.

 

Dad Took me in his arms jut then

And oh the tears he shed

As he tried to tell a four year old

Her Darling Mother was dead.

 

And so the years pass quickly

Time helps to ease the pain

Each year I go back to that old log house 

That stands at the end of the lane.
