I'Ve Climbed

I’ve climbed a lot of life’s mountains Seen view after view Moved with ups and downs in life The best that I can do I’ve made mistakes or worked too hard Held onto dreams I can’t discard Wrapped memories with bows and a smile Had getaways to escape for a while I’ve loved and hurt, had loss and gain Doing my best to survive and sustain I’ve learned a lot and created much too Laughed, danced, dove into life straight through Still, with each day that is new I know in my heart, it would be better with you Heidi Sands 9/25/19

Oh my gosh, the ending here knocked this one out of the ballpark for me <3

So nice, Heidi. Just reflecting on this one: How much better than Frank Sinatra's song, 'My Way,' is your poem! I feel it shares some similarities up to the end, where you reveal your true persona as a caring sharing lady---while Sinatra comes off as defiant and aloof: "I did it my way!" he boasts... Good for you!!! :)

You have left an interesting comment Gershon. I never for a second, thought of it that way. Thank you for being so kind to me. I appreciate your support, always :)
