In all the years that she was lost,
 and wandering in unknown lands,
 she kept a treasure in her heart:
 that gentleness is double strength
 and love is better than regret.

Through swamps of strangers, miles odd,
 unrecognized, and muddy ways,
 she trudged towards something, yet unknown,
 a place secure, the sun's warm rays,
 where she, at last could cease to roam,
 and finally, at last

 be home
