A Light in the Window


Just thinking...

The hinges are of leather and the windows have no glass
While the board roof lets the howling blizzard in;
And I hear the hungry ki-yote as he slinks up in the grass
`Round my little old sod shanty on my claim.

  3. Did Dad write that? The date of the drawing looks like it says 1765. At first I thought maybe he wrote it for a joke...but I guess the 9 only looks like a 7.

    I always loved looking at his old drawings, stories and poems.

  4. Dad did not write the song, he just sang it. As for the date on the bottom of the drawing, I think it does say 1765. After all it is an old picture. (He was a joker like that.)
