The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

He does not try to trip us,
He does not make us fall.
Each day he walks beside us,
Our most loyal friend of all.
He does not try to guide us,
He does not try to lead.
He goes to where we take him,
He requires no act or deed.
He smiles at all our efforts,
Not turned by truth or lies,
And when our time is over
He will gently close our eyes.
