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

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.
