Analysis of Fellow Traveler



Comes along a traveler

In this common track

Steeped in simple kindness

Bringing goodwill back.

Just a little simple

Does he seem at first.

But he's real, compassionate.

Yes for same I thirst.

Oh the flaws are found there

Cracks shown in the mold

Basis still so warming

As with gentle, old.

Let this friendship blossom.

He will not betray.

Lifting up my burden

Christ of everyday.
