Like a bird needs a dwelling,
a shield from thunderstorms and rain,
those going on a journey
need someone who remains.
Lost in wilderness fearing
where to spend a night.
Tired of the struggle
to find a little light.
Ordinary folk,
if I only knew!
Not only buildings are lighthouses
but people can be too!
Natives at their homes
offer gentle care.
A hero could not be celebrated,
if they were not there.
It takes courage to set a foot
in unknown foreign lands.
It takes strength to live a simple life
and labour with your hands.
There are different types of people
and distinct kinds of pain.
World needs courage of brave pilgrims,
patience of those who remain.

- Comment from author about the poem: While hearing about famous travellers who mediate to us their experience about the world, I find it important to think also about people who do not travell anywhere. Who are able to share different aspects of their coutries to the tourists and foreigners.
