COLDEST OF DAYS

Coldest of days

The land so baron and bare

Except for the snow

Covering earths

Stores

No shelter from the

Winds and storms

The feeling of forlorn

And forgotten

This land so baron and bare

This land that we share

With man and beast

Not least

The ones I love so much

Their loving touch

This land so baron and bare

Who dares to venture

Here and there

The biting wind so raw

But there is a shelter

From this wind so raw

My fellow companions

Here by my sides

Keeping a warmth

Deep within inside

My guardians from this

Land so baron and bare

This land so baron and bare

A time when my ventures begun

Across the wild and windy terrains

With nothing but

My white and brown Wolf

Friends

To guide me to the better ends

Of all the trails

And a place in history’s

Story’s
