During a sleepless midnight hour
My mind wanders to my beautiful flower
Buried beneath our favorite tree
From this world's tribulations, finally free
Long ago we trekked through the snow
To the rotting cabin down below
Starting a warming fire
For each others companionship, a burning desire
Coffee taking the chill off
Conversing with each other in voices so soft
Supper starting to cook
Made with fall's meat we took
With each other in our wilderness retreat
Life seeming so complete
Another winter to persevere
Not knowing the end was so near
Eating in the glowing lamp light
Her cooking such a delight
Frigid cold blowing through the night air
Safely nestled inside without a care
Just yesterday, it seems
Wide awake, I stare at the beams
She lays beneath the starry sky
As another lonely night passes by
