The cherry closest to the sun may be the sweetest But the top rung on the ladder is the steepest One can have his fill with feet firmly planted on the ground If one waits too long, there may be none to be found After more than two decades of standing on tip toes Calluses are formed preventing the vision of your woes The reality of your hunger has been the driving force to sup Your illusion of the lower branches is for them to help you up
