Today is Samir's day!

Across a thousand miles of sea,
a hundred leagues of land,
Along a path I had not traced
and could not understand,
I travelled fast and far for this,
to take thee by the hand.

A pilgrim knowing not the shrine
where he would bend his knee,
A mariner without a dream
of what his port would be,
So fared I with a seeking heart
until I came to thee.

Then furl the sail, let fall the oar,
forget the paths of foam!
The Power that made me wander far
at last has brought me home
To thee, dear haven of my heart...
and I no more will roam.

Henry Van Dyke

Happy Day, Samir!
