Life's a Climb


I had it easy

Like a breezy walk through the plains

Sun shining

Rainbows glowing

 

Along came a hill

A quick ascent

Sun shining

Rainbows glowing

 

Then change occured

 

Along came a mountain

The first I have ever had to climb

The summit out of sight

 

There were dark days

Depression lurked

 

I had left the plains behind

 

I kept climbing

And climbing

 

There were injuries along the way

Things I formerly loved to do left behind

 

I am almost to the top of the current mountain in my path

 

Life's a climb

Not a walk in the plains
