The Climb


The mountains we must climb each day
Meeting each challenge along the way

We begin our climb not sure of what we will find
Always focused on the challenges in our mind
As we travel through time

Climbing our mountains each day we must not stop
The drive inside us pushing us to the top

The goals we set will soon be met
The challenges of life not over yet

Soon we must leave the Joy Happiness and Peace we find
For we have another mountain to climb
Each day we are challenged time after time

In our faith each day we must find
The strength to climb the mountains in our mind

Through life’s journey and our quest
Always striving to become the best
Our God in heaven will comfort us when he calls us to rest

Our faith we must keep
As we say I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep

God give us the strength we need each day
To climb our mountains we pray

(smiles) Yes, He will always help us achieve that second wind to surmount all the barricades and help us to get to the precipice where we can absorb His light and love always! (sigh) I bet you will make a wonderful addition to the Spiritual Journies family, sweet friend, I would love to read some of your poems in Spiritual too, we all love you so much, God Bless You!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Paul, you should check into the Poetry Workshop.  Not that you need help, no sir, but I've been working my fool head off on a paradelle, and I think with a bit of rewrite in this very poem, you'd have one, hands down!  Enjoyed this, Sir...well done!
