I
wanted to take a ride . . . A ride that would be the ride of my life;
So
we went to Disneyland, but nothing excited me there, not even the mice.
I thought about the thrill rides,
Maybe Magic Mountain, where I could be
Superman;
Faster than a speeding bullet and able to leap
tall buildings;
But when it went up, it had to come down . . .
and that was pretty bland.
So
I joined the Air Force to study to become an Ace.
I
worked for years and years,
And
drove jets where the sky became the race.
But even at that, there was something lacking.
So an Astronaut I became, and into space I
went packing.
Now
that, you’d think, was a pretty great ride, where the clouds end and the stars
begin;
And
it was okay in that regard, but it really opened my mind to where life’s ride
will end.
As
I began to look at the rides I have taken,
Knowing
that none satisfied,
Because
I’m still looking for that great one where I’ll really be shaken;
I
wonder if the ride of all rides isn’t the one I’ve been riding,
This
ride called life, that we all are on,
With
the ups and downs, forward going, and back sliding?
In
all my searching, has it turned out,
That
the best is what I thought was the “borest”?
And
because I was searching so hard elsewhere,
That
I missed the trees because of the forest?
Is
my life the greatest ride of all? A
trip to space got me nowhere,
But
somehow showed me that what I have is who I am, and nothing else can compare.
A
pretty heavy philosophy, looking for something which you held all along.
But
in it I find that life is a fleeting shadow, or a wind that comes and then is
gone.
Jesus
Christ came into flesh from spirit.
He
took this ride and now gives us purpose in it.
Life
is the ride which all of us are seeking out.
For
in it is direction and guidance to God,
Who
Christ talked about.
The
ride I have sought and desired I have finally found.
For
life is the ride, that through Jesus will take me beyond space I’ve seen
And
put me Heaven bound.
