Life is a caravan,
Love is the load;
Joy sets her lamp above,
Lighting the road.
True love a rambling way
May set you roaming,
But at the close of day
Brings you safe homing.

Life is a caravan,
Faith is the steed;
Charity carries gold
For every need.
Laughter, — the music rare,
For hours of playing,
Riches beyond compare,
Quiet for praying.

Join this bright caravan!
Love is its goal.
Guide well the trusty wheels,
Onward they roll.
So, at the journey's end,
No more to roam,
Life and her caravan
Shall bring you home.
