Against the Wind, My Reward Now

Against The Wind, My Reward Now That was my time so long ago my hat was always in the show Running, ever against the wind more enemies than ever friend Remembering yesterdays so well the hot nights deep into Hell O' so many darlings kept me fed never saw my life was so dead Against that wind I did epic fail sought water from an empty well Applause rang out I never earn those gifts I refused to spurn Days, they have shifted now found the light know not how Water so fine, hide tide I roll rock a foundation was my goal This my time, my great new life blessed with my son and my wife Life came on, did not just end lover and wife, are both my friend No fear, running right on true so blessed, not sure it was due My firm stand against that wind shall reward me until the very end Robert J. Lindley, 01-08-2015 Note: Always been a big Bob Seger fan and his song, Against The Wind, was my anthem for a twenty-five year spread.. All that is over now. My ship sails with me the master at the prow. This is my dedication now. My old life is dead, I take my new vow My wife and family did renew me Finally my chains broke and I am truly free.
