The Mountain

I stand along the bottom of the mountain looking up and realize I'm scared to death.

What if I can't do this? What if I miss a step?

What if all the dangers are hidden right below?

How am I supposed to do this? How will I know?

Then the clouds open wide and I can feel it on my face,

A gentle kiss of light, and the warmth of its embrace.

The sun has come to shine on me. To remind me I am not alone.

I have friends and I have family. That has been there all along.

Then I look back to the mountain, and realize it's nothing but a hill.

It's an obstacle that's in the way. And all it can do is test my will.

So I start to climb it, And though I stumble I do not fall.

The dangers are very real, but that's part of life, after all.

You cannot know, but you still must try.

Because the only other option is to hide away and die.

Life is full of dangers, Life is full of Risks. Life is an adventure you don"t want to miss.

So, I will take that mountain, and I will fight through the gray.

And I will take on anything that may come my way!!

Mountain climbing can really teach us a lot of things about life.... the climbing part always seem difficult at first but once you reach the top, the view simply takes away your tired mind, stimulating it with only the beauty of nature itself (no decorations needed)... then the climbing down part is also difficult as your knees is putting pressure on breaking any falls... once you reach the bottom, everything seems normal again...

Blessings to you
