My guess was the North Star, and only after reading the hint. I thought it could be any number of things.
I knew it after the first line. Nicely written.
I also thought it was the North Star leading escaping slaves on the Underground Railroad to freedom, thus safety. Good teaser!
easy but fu nice one!
very easy, the last lines give it away no problem
The title was a dead give away to me.
Way to easy for me.

I knew it from the title. I like the verses, they flow well.
