Highway 61, North Shore, Minnesota

Oh! wind those windows down! Gitchigumi, race your breath through my soul! fill me with the strength your sons Hubert and Walter gave us! Oh Highway 61...bring me to your cliff tops, let me feel the passion for justice your brothers, Humphrey and Mondale gave us! Pray I help just one unfortunate heart, just one embittered soul.... Oh! wind those windows down! Gitchigumi, race your breath through my soul! -tribute to two of my heroes

Hi, James! You have the restless spirit of those who fight for justice and fairness. Your heroes must have a great influence in your life. Love is the greatest thing we can give others strength, passion and desire to do good. That's simply combined in three words...Love for your brother! Well-penned and inspiring poem. I have enjoyed it! Thanks for your comment...The Lake Superior must be spectacular, and someday, I'd like to see it! Keep on writing, Jim. Good luck and Warm Regards from Andrew.
