A camping trip

Written at a time I wanted to go camping but also have the freedom to stay in if I decided.

I want to take a camping trip, in a tent and look at God’s beautiful creation
I want to take a journey, in a red car named Ruby to the edge of the world
I want to invite you to come on this adventure as we explore the world from the outside
I want to lay beneath the star lit sky, and imagine the world used to be like without them

A night sky full of numerous flashes of my Savior’s love for His children
A night sky full of beauty and wonder
A tree in the dark making shadows up against the moon
An animal in the distance, looking for food to eat

It’s time to go to bed, but I don’t want to forget the lessons that you’ve taught me
It’s time to close my eyes, but my mind is full of anxious thoughts
I cry because I don’t know why I am lonely, but you tell me I’m never alone
You tell me that silence is golden, and that you can hear the crying of my heart

I hope the animals don’t eat me
I hope the animals don’t like me
I hope the animals don’t see me
I hope the animals walk on by me
