My diabetes song is by my favorite artist, Bob Seger. The entire song touches my soul but some parts touch my diabetic soul. Those parts I have made bold letters.
Against the Wind
It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playlng low
And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove
And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
Wish I didnāt know now what I didnāt know then
Against the wind
We were runninā against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runninā
Against the wind
And the years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or even how much I owed
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searchinā
Searchinā for shelter again and again
Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind
Well those drifters days are past me now
Iāve got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out
Against the wind
Iām still runninā against the wind
Iām older now but still running
Against the wind
Well Iām older now and still running
Against the wind
