Four of Us
Well, you see,
The four of us never like to look one way,
And when you look to us for guidance,
We can't all have our say.
Two of us are side by side:
One has a sea, the other: sew.
But way up there, you'll always find
Something that could be just called "no."
"No," you'll find is quite the star
The leader, really, not by far.
But below us, balancing a cross,
We'd like to point out our other good friend...
Now, you can't possibly be lost.
What are we?

Hint
The "cross" can also be a diamond, and is sometimes called a rose...Answer
North, East, South, and West.-They "look" in four different directions, and are looked to for guidance on a map.
-East and West are side by side. The letters "s-e-a" are in east, and "s-e-w" is in west.
-North could be abbrev. "No."
-Below is south, 'balancing' the compass rose.
Now you know the directions, you can't possibly be lost!
