As Long As There's A Mountain ~Marge Tindal~ 1999 I have been down in the valley far too long this time. Time to get about me, my senses. Time for me to climb. I could languish here in the valley, as the darkness gathers 'round, But I feel the need to escape this hole. I feel the need to bound. Bound upward, bound onward to new heights that I can attain. Climb steadily, steadily upward ... 'til I'm on the top again. As long as there's a mountain, I will rise, not without pain.. I will climb until I'm standing on top of that mountain again. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Marge - Enjoyed this one very much. Very nice. Everyday there seems to always be a new and challenging mountain to climb. |

That's a perfect place to be Marge. I stood on top of Pikes Peak and could see past my house and all the way into Kansas. At the bottom of the mountian all I could see was road. Loved this! |

Elizabeth - You are quite a climber, gal. Denise - Inspiration keeps us all going. Eloise - The challenge is met when we climb. OhMe - Oh, to stand atop Pikes Peak and share the view with you. *Thank you all for your inspiration. Mountains are made to be climbed. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Gotta love your attitude, Marge. Mountains are for you because you're always up! |

so very encouraging - it's easy to stick around in the valley and lose the energy to climb up again - thanks for this Marge it's a great uplifter!!! |

Balladeer - The climb is exhilarating. Thanks for noticing, my friend. Mirjam - It's okay to visit the valley once in a while, but not to linger too long. The challenge is the climb - reaching the top is a worthy goal. (Small mountains count too ... as long as you're climbing.) ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
