To All The Te Araroa Walkers

It's getting a little late,

but sleeping dogs

and a snoring man

make this sweet home.

We welcome you

into our abode,

travellers passing through.

Your plans are worldly

We are pleased to meet you,

that you took the time

to put your footprints here.

Nature makes muses and inspirations,

A little life makes a big soul.

Peace to the weary

Hours tick

and sleep heals the pain.
