"The wind is lazy, cold today"
"It cuts straight through you" Dad would say,
It took my breath and made me gasp,
As dad's huge hand I reached to grasp.
That reassurance seemed required,
As on we walked though I grew tired.
We stopped the odd time, caught our breath,
That heartless wind chilled us to death.
Though the walk seemed tough to bear,
We strode on fearless. Not a care.
For here we were amongst old friends,
That distant view that never ends.
Such beauty overwhelmed our being,
Our Shropshire hill's a sight for seeing
We stood there just my Dad and I,
No words were needed, ...by and by.
A timeless moment, not a sound,
Just chilling breeze now all around.
A moment out, of lifetimes toil,
A memory no man could spoil.
For these are thoughts that make me so,
A life that I am blessed to know.
