Ladders

Ever climbed a ladder To see what’s on top ?. To fix something up To see what’s what ? Expending so much energy As you make your climb Using up resources Using up your time ?. Not sure why you’re climbing What’s there when you arrive You’ve been told when you get there “You’ll know that you’re alive”. You finally hit the roof And survey what you see Because you have arrived To the top of that tree. “It’s not what I thought” I can hear you say “Did I climb the right ladder Why do I feel betrayed ?” The key to climbing ladders What makes you gratified Is not “which ladder should I climb”, The answer is in the “why ?”.
