Walking Down The Difficult Road

Down the difficult road,
they harkened to
go before me.

They were sick and tired
of being dragged down here
And the desert and the palm trees
were calling ..
The night was so dark
But they heard of no fear ..

At dawn,
taken by heat and thirst,
down the difficult road,
they burst into tears ..

They left the horses in the stable
without a prance or saddle
And set the mules to rumble
so as not to wheedle or muddle
They caused everyone to pandle
Why life is so hard to handle!

Down the difficult road,
they harkened to 
go before me.
