The title poem from Steady, Pilgrim

Steady, pilgrim,
walk with grace.
The saint was wrong,
there is no race.
You make a road
for those behind
who know not
that your work is blind.
Each year a mile
from wilderness,
the path made straight,
the toil made less.
Each day a slab
to smooth the track
for foot, for hoof,
for weary back.
Each hour a tree
to shade the head,
give fruit to quench,
make wine, be fed.
Each thought a sky,
unbounded space.
So, steady, pilgrim,
walk with grace
remembering
your unborn face.
