The Ascent

I saw a Mountain from afar I wished upon a shooting star I knew I never climbed this Mount My steepest climb was Fear and Doubt. I never made this climb before But knew this was the Way to more I looked up at the stars and sighed Would my dreams be realized? A Day to come when I would know Face to Face a dream no more. A Mountain of Promise awaited me I urgently prepared to leave. I headed to that distant place The Hope of Love upon my face A journey I must take alone Until His heart becomes my home.

Thank you, Sotto! I wrote that back in 2016. The words came from a download, and required no thinking really on my part. It was given to my spirit as a gift. Because of this, it is a poem I feel I cannot take credit for, and it is the one that is closest to my heart.
