Oasis (Lamentations 3:19-33)

Kadesh is not the Promised Land,
Oasis more, you understand,
Where they regrouped for forty years;
Where old died off; they lost their fears.

We all have needs akin to theirs,
So in our journeys one compares
Oasis life for us and them,
And then our styles of life amend.

We change of course, but not too fast,
If change in us we want to last;
Oasis in the desert land
Gives rest from miles of burning sand.

Blue sky above with palm-trees’ shade;
Fresh springs of water, freshness made
New every morning like His love –
Kingdom below, as up above.
