Safe Travels
I was shot-gun in the car a little while ago as I can recall
We drove from desert to desert from Arizona to California
I suddenly felt like a professional photographer here – snap cheers
I took far too many photos of the desert wilderness it clearly appears
I kept all of the photos on my father’s phone and also, my tablet
Sadly, I didn’t bring my two animals – especially my favorite dog pet
Saw the wild, green and yellow bushes of plenty and puny trees in so many clusters
Taming the wild child in me and making me feel like mellow cats, filled with furs and purrs
The desertlands here are beautifying and simply brilliant, cradled with hot breeze
The precious, desolate prairies are sparkling like delightful fairies and yellow daisies
The sun is shimmering sweet and sour upon our skin
We kept cool with the AC on in the caravan once again
The forest of mountains, hills and rocky terrain…is covered with dirt and endless plants
I bet hardly any animal would survive here, not even birds in the sky or plantation ants
Listening to two songs at once on the radio, feeling blissfully musical and all-the-more motivating; yet,
Quite cheery with a bunch of feelings crunched in, wanting to come out, no longer upset with regret
Been sitting all day in the somewhat slow van-vehicle,
My eyes were peering time and time again, how eventful…
It was such a long, long time, traveling countlessly, nervously anticipatin'
To do a choir performance and spend some time in sunny California again
I talk and talk out of mere habit and boredom, yet I say some significant, random-like things
I bring up things that are positive and negative, so I keep quiet and see what serenity brings
Travelling to Lake Havasu to Victorville is a long way,
But it made me pretty glad and happy all day today
Joshua trees passed us by substantially and yet, I managed to catch some pictures of them
I believe that the nature and beauty of the desert is amazing to gaze at for a bit, a dry gem
If I gaze long enough, I might get tired of it as fast as a hare can run…
I’m still having a mini adventure with fun a trillion times a trillion…not a trillion ton
I want to walk this off – the junk food and constant sitting and tiredness during this trip as I grab my 25 ounce jug of Polar Pop and take a nice sip
Times like these get somewhat rough nowadays…looking back instead of in the future a lot more than not in doubt…but, I will get a gracious grip
Then, I’d be super exaggerating and it would get aggravating if I go any further
Won’t mention these joyous feelings I get, despite obnoxious noises, confusion ablur
My dad and I picked up my sister and I still believe God is working with us a wondrously great deal
His helpfulness and His mercy and consideration is extremely real, a spiritual and an emotional appeal
Don’t know how I survived the travel from Arizona to California
Safe travels too, papa... (and brother like no otha)
