Advice

Mind how you go, hard times ahead,
take care, if you’d get home to bed,
the future is a place unknown,
be wary of the traps and stones,
keep eyes upon the winding path and drifting snow,
so guard ambition on the heights, mind how you go.

The storm will pass, the night will end,
you’ll ride the beast bad luck will send,
if you can grasp and not let go
your destination’s cheery glow,
beyond the sands sweet meadows lie, bright flowered grass,
the valleys wide, the days so bright - the storm will pass.
