The Thousand-Mile Walker
Thousands miles he passed over
Under the heat of summer
The heavy rain shower
The hail and the snow of winter
The walker moved forward!
Far beyond the horizon was his goal
The thunderstorms shook the soul
Shirts and pants plenty of holes
Both feet ruined the boot’s sole
The bleed could not stop his toll
The walker moved forward!
Then he met an ocean
He looked over without emotion
The empty beach, the furious wave
Challenged the brave.
Saw the goal through the sunray
Expected the final at far away
He decided to move on to find
Far in sight… but close in mind!
