Shadow Hamilton Poet Verse

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

Paul Callus April 5, 2014 at 7:34 AM very good write SH. // The mountain of life is never easy to climb; depends on the attitude and angle from where it is tackled.
