The distance was lengthy,
He could walk no further,
'Cos it was rather strenuous,
In the dreadful weather.

The rain never ceased;
He was shivering with cold.
"I must move on!"
He tried to sound bold.

Nothing could stop him now,
From reaching his destination;
Slowly but steadily he proceeded,
And accomplished it with
satisfaction!

The struggle was worth it;
At last he was home,
Sheltered from the storm,
Safe and sound and warm!
