I'm climbing a mountain from the bottom to the top.... I constantly climb upward, I never stop. From the bottom it looks that the top is 'way off.... But, each step that I take takes me further aloft ! Life is my mountain that I have to climb, The crags and the rocks are dissappointments I find. The ledges and falls is when I try and fail.... But, with persistence and stamina I know I'll prevail ! When I reach the top and stand on the peak.... I'll look back below me and triumphantly speak. I'll call back to others who follow behind, Then lay down to rest with peace on my mind !
Reason for writing:
Compare life to a gigantic mountain....lots of climbing to do...lots of falls to take...but, when it is all over, if we have led a good life....we will find peace and rest !
