Challenges
By Paul Wilson


The mountains we must climb
The mountains we must climb
Not sure of what we will find
Not sure of what we will find
We must find the mountains
Not sure of what we will climb

Always focused on the challenges in our mind
Always focused on the challenges in our mind
As we travel through time
As we travel through time
Through time in our mind as we travel
Always focused on the challenges

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

The challenges in our life we must find
Always focused as we travel through time
Soon on the mountains we will climb
The goals will be met
Not sure of what we set
Challenges of the mind not over yet

Hi Paul, welcome to class, it's a fun place to be.

I think you wrote a good paradelle. I haven't done one yet, due to lack of time.

Titia... Thank you for the welcome.
You know how new students always feel when they first walk into the class room. Everyone is looking at them. Makes you want to run and hide, till you find a friendly face in the crowd and a new friendship is started.
Thanks Again... Paul

Paul--
Welcome to our new classmate.  I truly enjoyed your paradelle.  I found this form very difficult and it appears that it was no big hill for You.  Enjoyed your theme and your thoughts on the subject.  I've really enjoyed the class and for all my complaining, I am getting a lot out of Miss Nan's material.  In six months time, I've learned poetry forms that I had never encountered before and I really enjoy the class participation.  Hope that you enjoy it as much as I do.

Bridget... Thanks for the kind words & welcome.
I'm like you, all of this is new to me, all I've ever done was write whatever came to mind with no set meter or anything. I'm still trying to figure all of this out, so I appreciate any help you might have to offer.
Thanks Again... Paul
