Withstanding bitter winds through winter thrust
Windswept snowfall in streaks of icy gust
Fighting off polar windstorm
Behind windshield keeping warm
In flimsy windbreakers we put our trust

Reward me not in empathy
a day forgotten in esprit
is not my loss - the memory
seems far outspoken sympathy!
Remember then, the hell we shared
remorse o'er target, thee instead
became my virtue - God's embed,
a promise loving more thy tread!
Forgiving tangled paths re-webbed
and even saming, dulled exceed.
Why more the numbers - bled is bred,
while I unshaken pray Faith's deed!
Far off - windbreakers weigh my head,
I Am - I Am - all hope, God said,
if this avow tarried or fled,
then rewards muster, truth out led~
is silenced . . . fondled actions read!
