Climbing mountains is a very arduous task,

Of that there is no doubt.

Especially if your climbing partner is not keen on,

The aims and aspirations you have set about.

You will end up giving up ,ever,

Reaching far off mountain top.

All your hopes, just a foolish dream.

Your journey at a stop.

The only way is to start a again,

as vulnerable as it may seem.

Alone you must climb your mountain

to fulfill your mighty dream.

The exciting view yours alone,

as you climb each jagged peak.

There is no doubt you can achieve,

whatever you do seek.

Once there you will realize,

you were not alone at all.

Looking down at far off valley,

It is then you do recall.

When things looked grim,

as desperately you did cling.

Some voice within gave strength,

You could overcome most anything.

Then again on treacherous precipice

It seemed no further you could go.

Was that a hand that helped you up?

Helped you overcome your mountain foe.

You now felt inspired to go further up,

One faltering step,and next ,to the mountain top.

Such excitement to achieve that far off goal.

You know you are not alone , you never want to stop.
