To Mike and Jeanette in Montana

In the land of ceaseless snowfall
In the dark half of the year
I’ve found a place where I’m at home
And friends I’ve loved so dear.

Too long the world kept us apart
We travelled different ways
We’ve fought and loved and carried on
And dreamed of better days

The paths we chose were often harsh
The way has been too long
But we have weathered every storm
And that has made us strong

And through it all I’ve loved you both
Though we were far apart
And now I sit here by your hearth
And warm my lonely heart.
