Life's Mountain

One climbs the mountain of life some full of hope others with fear each one taking a separate path already making life changing choices For some the climb long and arduous with glimpses of hope and happiness most trudge along going both up and down never reaching their true potential For a rare few plain sailing awaits their hopes do these give back or help those who struggle? For them who conquer their personal Everest satisfaction their time here was so well spent

very good write SH. // The mountain of life is never easy to climb; depends on the attitude and angle from where it is tackled. Personally I have always tried to climb up the hills first....training for the big one!! :) // paul
