The house among the forest glen
Obscure and out of sight
Sometimes at night, there are times when
You can see the faintest light.
The word around regarding this house
Is somewhat mysterious it seems.
There are no facts that really stand out
That proves it's more than a dream.
The imagination of some folklore
That's been passed along the way.
And some folks say its nothing more
Than a fairy tale of yesterdays.
The story is, a couple once lived there
A duo you wouldn't want to meet
Their name to fame was very scarce
And was hardly worth a repeat.
The only harm that they ever did
Was to stay away from town.
A nice old couple who never had kids
Just never seemed to want folks around.
You know there's lots of stories told
Of things people know little about
Why can't we be kind, instead of cold
And reach out to those who are in doubt.
A mysterious, historical, Victorian home
Where centuries of heritage lie,
That loomed over a hill, standing all alone
And had not seen many passerbys.
An abode that once was fit for a king
Had been abandoned to disrepair,
Was now being ocuppied by ancestry kin
A family so proud to be there.
It took some time and hours of work
To bring the house back to life,
But with it all, it earned it's worth
To not be feared, but to invite.
