Casting Out Your Lines

Let the wind
      blow from the north
We'll continue to 
      strive
 as we always have
Let the season become 
    frigid
We'll move along 
    the path, without 
any fear
The roof and roads
    may be covered 
with ice
We'll move ahead
    and 
create our own warmth
   Let the sky turn 
   white
  and drop snowflakes 
on our fair city
We'll feel warmth 
      in our bones
Knowing that we 
  can withstand the frost
gives us courage
  Let Father Winter do 
his worst
We'll learn what 
     we must
As the waters 
  ice over
We'll skate quickly 
to our destinations
We'll meet once 
again
  Two small figures
Conquering the elements 
      with love
