Camel Ride Through Life’s Desert

Past the scorching sun of noontide

Through the endless grains of sand

To the coolness of the evening

I will trek across this land.

Past the vastness of the desert

Through the barren land so wide

To the prickly thorn and cactus

I will journey on this ride.

Past the lowlands and the tundra

Through the plateau and plain

To the peace that lay before me

I will journey on life’s lane.

Past the reptile and the lizard

Through a creek that’s running dry

To a tumbleweed that’s blowing

I will lift mine eyes on high.

Past the mountains and the valleys

Through the searing heat of day

To the refuge that awaits me

I will slowly make my way.

Past the lone and empty wasteland   

Through the wilderness, so deep

To the comfort of still waters

I will close my eyes in sleep.

Past the ridges and the canyons

Through a thousand miles or more

To the splendor found in heaven

I will reach that golden shore.

Isn't it wonderfully reassuring that
