A simple needle with a tiny charge,
will turn and show the way.
Magnetic – it draws our gaze,
lest we might go astray.
A simple power it does contain
though science claims it as its own;
but by magic, it will lead us home.

Without the compass on the dashboard, my father would never have found his way home from vacation. He would stop overnight in a motel and leave the next morning invariably turning the direction from which he came the night before. It was a long-standing family joke!
