Our "Soddy"
Leora Smith Blankenbeckler


There it stood, where only days before Had been endless prairie, grass and sod;
An humble place, but with the will of God
A home---a haven---a shelter from the storm.
       It was not beautiful or proud
       But here a man could think aloud
       And work and rest,
       And greet the dawning of the morn.
The trips to town were difficult and rarely made,
No trails or fields or fences marked the way,
The shadow of the horses told the time of day;
When night-fall came, my mother's intent ear
Strained for welcome sounds of wagon-gear
Squeaking on the frozen snow, and homeward bound.
Those 'doby plastered walls saw tears and mirth,
They saw three tiny lives begin from birth
And spend their happy childhood days.
       There is no marker now where once it stood,
       Only the old iron pump
       Standing through the heat and cold;
But in our hearts it has become a shrine,
That homely little house of sod.
Where first we learned to love and trust in God.
