Does the muddy road stretch all the way?
Yes, beyond the horizon.
Will today’s trip take the whole long day?
From dawn to eve, my son.
Shall we meet other travelers in this journey?
Yes, some ahead of us.
Can I talk or ask them what did they see?
They’d be happy to discuss.
Um, is there a resting place for the night?
The sky above is a great tent.
O, it must be cold, tough and dreary, right?
Think what strength is meant.
What should I do when I feel moody or lonely?
Learn to labor and to pray.
Where do I seek vision, hope and energy?
The Polestar; it’s invisible by day.
