The sun so bright and the ice so adamant, The path so narrow and the aim so high, The wind so chilly the memories so prickly, Will it thaw my resolve..... My steely determination, Will it dissolve.... The winds may be chilly, But my breath is warm.... The path may be narrow But wide is my stride.... With my feet firmly on the ground, My eyes look up to my aim high.... The ice adamant today Will one day swell with pride.... The sun - haughty and bright, The ice - pure, clear and petite, Both creations of God, Have a story to write, Who wins The sun or the ice May the Almighty decide! **** Paradoxically yours....
