Hidden Beauty
As I ride through the desert
miles on miles of sand I see
Where's the beauty in the desert ?
Why it's, the camel under me
Some think them ugly
Of all the beast,
that dwell upon the earth
I see another deeper beauty
based on what the camel's worth
The hairy pads, on his knees
let him kneel upon hot sand
and His large flat feet look funny
But let him stand upon soft land
His eyes are big, his ears are small
His nose moves on his face
He has a hump high on his back
and seldom walks with grace
With patchy hair and long thin legs
He's sure a sight to see
The only beauty in the desert
I'm glad He's here with me
For every attribute he has
is suited for the sand
and God provided me with Him
So I'd survive this land
