Stockholm, Sweden.

Khyber Pass Truck Stop

I’m all set to go

Down these endless trails

On life’s dreaded ways

On silent road of ne’er ending travails-

My deserved rest and break is over

Long journeying, and journey yet ahead

Prayer mat neatly rolled up

Sturdy Bedford engine warming up,

A huff and puff and I’m all set to go-

Down these lonely stretches

Up rearing High Mountain passes

Through treacherous gates of death

On life’s lonesome road-

With a thought, an image

To warm my beating, yet cold heart,

With a fading smile on an old photo

To brace my waning courage -
