Challenger

 

Challenger

Where does he go,
       The daring one?
He follows the road
       That leads to the sun. 

Is the going rough

       The highway wide?

The road is long--

       But so is his stride!

And does he guess

       What lies ahead?

He only knows

       That he is led . . .

Drawn by a will

       Greater than his

To look for the sun

       And a Power that is.

--Clare Harner.
