Daniel Human Poet Rhyme

Walking Through the Desert

So, here we are
With our hurt and our healed scar
As the cracks on our face
Tells the story of the place
We came from and what we've done
With the chances we had – if only one

The road map of our history
Of defeat and also victory
Of love and strife
And this thing called life

But yet we plod along
Forward, forward with step and song
Through desert and through sand
Towards our promised land

Yes, we look back from time to time
To past delicacies that were sublime
Our mind at times does wander back
To a place of sepia and white and black

But yet we plod along
Even if there’s sadness in our song
For our hope is to move ahead
To place of rest, eternal bed
