Mountain Goat


Look at that mountain goat over there in the distance

Everyday it faces new challenges

And embarks on a perilous journey

To run away from a predator

Or find food

It climbs

Watch it climb up the mountain

And become more fearless and stronger

Everyday

The mountain goat can take its time or move quickly

But is aware of all its steps

If it misteps it finds another footing

It climbs without a harness

And defies gravity
