Life's Ladder
Life's Ladder
As time goes by, and we mature,
our serious life's journey begins-
the climb to attain growth and goals,
with many challenges to complete, for
the rewards of a meaningful life.
We smile at the foot of life's ladder
with bright hope for the ascent ahead;
our chance to make our mark in life-
to reach that summit that defines us.
Looking up, it may seem impossible-
but happy with purpose, we proceed.
Up, up, we climb- hoping each rung
above leads to another level of drive
and the thrill of accomplishment.
This is our steep ladder, our life, our
personal purpose, to achieve our peak-
the potential- individual to each of us.
At the top of our life's ladder is the
glory and fulfillment- and the vision
of peace- that we have done our best.
