Hikers of the Thru

The Fates stepped in and flogged our pride,
Till we lost our pace and stood denied,
But a promise made is a debt unpaid,
Our dream remains a thirst unstayed,
The night before you Angel Blazed,
A promise made in the dimming haze,
Sworn to you as you are mine,
That you would reach Katahdin's sign,
And so our journey begins anew,
I can't repay my debt to you,
Until we're hikers of the Thru!
