I Have Come Down From the Mountain

I have come down from the mountain The mountain of my youthful days I have stumbled along the rock strewn path The path of life that leads downward toward my final days The long journey has rendered me bruised and battered But I have found a trove of treasure along the way The love of my wife, my family, and my friends are the treasures These are the treasures that I hold so dear each and every day
