With no snow cover
It’s warmer this time, I see
No matter, we Norwegians are
Tougher than ice
Our hides like steel protect us
Against everything
We two Mad City strong Vikings
Once upon a time
These roses were a deeper red
It’s hard to handle now
How you’re so far away
But they are still roses
As red as they can be from me
To lay down beside you
My present always remember
In and to our past, a gift
Aloha to you always for what was
Time distanced between us
You are now beyond elements
A snow angel winging
Somewhere just out of sight
